Frozen Garlic Knots in the Air Fryer

These frozen garlic knots cooked in an air fryer are simple to make. I wanted garlic knots tonight but didn't want to heat the whole house, so I looked for a recipe but couldn't find one. I just created my own recipe, and they turned out perfect.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 6 people

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer Ensure it has a basket suitable for even air circulation.
  • 1 Cooking Spray For greasing the air fryer basket.
  • 1 Tongs For safely turning the garlic knots.

Ingredients
  

Main

  • cooking spray
  • 6 frozen garlic knots such as New York Bakery garlic knots

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an air fryer to 330 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Spread out garlic knots in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket.
  • Cook in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes. Turn garlic knots over and continue cooking until golden brown and warm, about 3 more minutes.

Notes

To achieve superior results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for optimal air circulation and even crisping. While the recipe is straightforward, consider finishing the knots with a quick brush of melted butter infused with fresh minced garlic and finely chopped parsley immediately after cooking. This elevates both flavor and aroma. Monitor closely during the final minutes, as air fryer models vary, and overcooking can lead to dry, tough knots. Serve these warm with a side of marinara or a good quality olive oil for dipping.
