WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE
I love making air fryer garlic knots because they are so easy, and the air fryer makes them perfectly every time. Because they are already shaped and ready to go, they save so much time, especially perfect for busy weeknights.
The garlic flavor in the knots make them perfect to eat as quick finger food. But they are also a family favorite to serve with pastas, like spaghetti, or even with pizza.
A box of these frozen perfect garlic knots saves so much time! they can go straight from freezer to air fryer! But if you want to make knots from scratch, without the hassle of using dry yeast, you can use this simple air fryer garlic knots recipe using store-bought pizza dough, crescent rolls, or biscuit dough.

EXPERT TIPS
- To get extra crispy knots, you can brush with butter or olive oil before air frying. This will help to crisp up the outside of the knots even more.
- If you want a little bit of spicy or extra garlicky flavor on you knots, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, or a sprinkle of minced garlic, on the tops, after brushing them with olive oil. There are so many flavor combinations.
- If making a larger batch, air fry in batches so the basket isn't crowded, preventing air flow.
