Easy Parmesan Garlic Knots

March 14, 2012

These easy parmesan garlic knots can be put on the dinner table any night of the week. Garlic knots are usually presented to diners as a free appetizer while their dinner is being prepared at Italian restaurants. They are made with leftover pizza dough that has been slathered in garlic, parsley, and olive oil. This version uses pre-made refrigerated biscuits that are rolled into rods before being dusted with garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and dried oregano. Present these parmesan garlic knots at dinnertime and I guarantee they will be devoured on sight.
