⭐Why I Love It:
- 25 Minutes - With only minutes to prep and just 20 minutes to bake, these are ready FAST!
- Only 4 Ingredients - You only need canned biscuits, butter, garlic, and dried parsley!
- Using Canned Biscuits - Typically garlic knots are made from pizza dough, but if you're like me and often have canned biscuits already on hand, then this is a great hack!
🥘Ingredients
- Refrigerated Canned Biscuits - You can buy any brand of canned biscuits for this recipe. Other delicious recipes that use canned biscuits is this Leftover Turkey Pot Pie or Mini Cheesy Monkey Bread.
- Butter - I prefer to use salted butter, but you can use unsalted as well.
- Minced Garlic - Freshly minced garlic always has the best flavor, but you can use the pre-minced garlic in a jar too.
- Dried Parsley - To add some color and freshness! A dried Italian seasoning blend is also great.
