Making frozen garlic knots in the air fryer takes less than 10 minutes for the ultimate easy side or snack. They’re savory, soft, buttery, garlicky, and delicious!
1Frozen garlic knot, any brand(such as New York Bakery)
1Tbspmarinara sauce for dipping(optional)
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F
Remove the frozen garlic knots from all packaging. Place them garlic butter side up into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, allowing some air space between so they can expand during cooking
1 Frozen garlic knot, any brand
Cook on the air fry setting for 6 minutes. I do not recommend flipping them, as you’ll lose some of your tasty toppings if you do so
Check to see if they are warmed through using a thermometer, or by depressing the center with your finger to see if it feels hot and gives easily. Add additional cooking time in 1-minute increments as needed (or for additional browning)
Serve with your favorite entrees or with dipping sauce as a snack!
1 Tbsp marinara sauce for dipping
Notes
Any brand of frozen garlic knots works. I have New York Bakery brand here, but have used Great Value (Walmart), Marketside, L’Oven Fresh (Aldi), and Furlani before as well
You can cook however many servings you want based on how many people you’re feeding! Cooking time doesn’t change based on quantity as long as you have enough space in the air fryer basket to hold the knots
If you plan to serve your garlic knots as an appetizer or snack, then I recommend adding a dipping sauce. Marinara and garlic sauce are my two favorite choices!
My frozen garlic knots were perfect after 6 minutes in a Ninja Dual Zone air fryer. Other brands of air fryer may differ slightly
Note that if you prefer a darker brown, crustier exterior, you may bump the temperature to 390°F and cook for 3-4 minutes instead. I prefer my garlic knots to be soft, which is why I stick with a lower temperature
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand of ingredients, any sauces or toppings added, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
