Crispy Air Fryer Garlic Knots

Crispy Air Fryer Garlic Knots are the perfect bite-sized snacks made with pizza dough and a buttery garlic herb mixture, delivering crunch and flavor in every bite.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) store-bought pizza dough, fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter, can use olive oil as an alternative
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced, fresh garlic for best flavor
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped, can substitute with dried parsley
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped, can substitute with dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt, adjust according to taste
  • Olive oil spray, as needed, can use cooking spray as an alternative

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Add minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and salt, stirring well. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.
  2. Prepare your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 10×12 inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips.
  3. Create each strip into a loose knot. Toss the knots gently in a bowl with half of the herb butter mixture.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the basket lightly with olive oil. Arrange the knots in a single layer without overcrowding them.
  5. Cook the knots for 4-5 minutes. After flipping them, air fry for another 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Brush the knots generously with the remaining herb butter while still hot for maximum flavor.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper cooking.
