This easy garlic knot recipe is a perfect addition to pizza night, birthday party celebrations, and sleepovers for the kids. They are wonderful as a quick and easy mouth-watering snack on the weekends and a yummy treat to add to lunch boxes.

Because these garlic knots are made with packaged pizza dough, they are ready to eat in under 20 minutes! You can also opt to use homemade pizza dough, which will take a bit longer but will be just as delicious.

They turn out buttery and soft and totally addicting- you won't be able to eat just one!

Make your buttery garlic knots large or small, whatever size fits your party. They can be baked in the oven or popped into the air fryer. Either way they turn out incredibly delicious. Your whole family will love this simple snack!
