⭐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

Canned biscuits, butter, minced garlic, and dried parsley in small glass prep bowls.

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.

💭Recipe Tips

Leftovers - Leftovers can be stored at room temperature, in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw them overnight in the fridge then warm in a 350 degrees F oven for about 5 minutes.
Double the Recipe - Want to make more than 1 can of biscuit's worth? Just use a large baking dish so they all have room.
