These Air Fryer Garlic Knots are soft, flavorful bites perfect as a snack or side. Made from pizza crust dough twisted into knots, seasoned with garlic salt, basil, and onion powder, then air fried to golden perfection. Garnished with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, these garlic knots offer a quick and delicious treat with a crispy outside and tender inside.

Ingredients

Seasoning Mix

  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ¼ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp onion powder

Knots

  • 13.8 ounce can pizza crust
  • Olive oil spray

Optional Garnishes

  • Grated parmesan cheese
  • Minced parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for the garlic knots.
  2. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic salt, dried basil, and onion powder until combined and set aside for seasoning the dough.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the pizza crust dough out onto a clean flat surface to make it easy to cut and shape.
  4. Cut Dough Strips: Cut the dough widthwise into ten 1-inch rectangular strips. Cutting widthwise ensures manageable lengths for forming knots.
  5. Form Knots: Carefully wrap the middle of each strip around itself to create a loose knot. Tuck the loose ends behind the knot so they stay secure but avoid tightening the knots too much.
  6. Oil and Season: Lightly spray all knots with olive oil spray, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over the knots for flavor coating.
  7. Air Fry Knots: Place the knots into the air fryer basket and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 6 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  8. Add Final Touches: Once cooked, spray the knots lightly with more olive oil or melted butter. Optionally, garnish with grated parmesan cheese and minced parsley for enhanced flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the knots are loose when formed, as tightening can prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • You can substitute garlic salt with regular salt and fresh minced garlic if desired.
  • Adjust air fryer cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model for perfect browning.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Optional parmesan and parsley add an extra burst of flavor, but the knots are delicious plain as well.
