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.       

If you love garlic, you will love this air fryer roasted garlic, air fryer garlic butter shrimp, air fryer lemon garlic shrimp, and these air fryer garlic steak bites. 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 package store-bought frozen garlic knots- around 4-6 traditional garlic knots

Optional: Brush with virgin olive oil or melted butter and then top with crushed garlic cloves, garlic salt, or kosher salt, for extra flavor.

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

STEP 2
Spray the basket with cooking spray, and then place the frozen garlic knots in air fryer basket, in a single layer. Use a pastry brush and brush with the olive oil or butter mixture if using. 

STEP 3
Air fry at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. You can turn them halfway through the cooking process. 

STEP 4
Serve hot with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.

I make this recipe in my Cosori air fryer. Air fryer brands are different and depending on your air fryer oven, size and wattages, air frying time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.

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.

VARIATIONS

• For cheesy garlic knots, brush a little bit of olive oil on them, and then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese, over the tops before air frying. There are so many types of cheese, it’s really your personal preference. 
• For extra flavor, add some fresh herbs like basil, parsley or oregano after brushing with olive oil. 
• Change up the sauce for dipping. Melted cheese, pizza sauce, and alfredo sauce are just some ideas of fun ways to serve these knots. 
• Serve with tomato soup, or slice in half to make a garlic bread slider or top with sauce and cheese for mini pizzas. 

STORING AND REHEATING

Leftover garlic knots can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3-5 minutes cooking time, or until heated through.
