Does this recipe use yeast?

This recipe does not use yeast. If you were to make your own homemade dough, it may require you to use yeast. However, this recipe is using the store-bough crescent roll dough sheets.

Does this dough need to rise?

The dough used in this recipe is the Crescent roll store-bought dough, so it will rise in the air fryer. You want to have a light and fluffy interior with a delicious buttery outside. If you make your own homemade dough, you will need yeast to help the dough rise.

What to serve with Garlic Knots

You can serve your garlic knots with dipping sauces or other appetizers. Marinara sauce or ranch is my go-to when I eat garlic knots. I’ve listed a few other recipes down below that you can serve with these knots as well.

Notes

I use the Cosori 8.5 quart air fryer, so depending on your air fryer size you may be able to cook more knots at a time.
These can also be baked in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

  1. Since it’s not mentioned in the directions, I assume you add the parsley to the melted butter mixture and the parmesean gets sprinkled on after buttering the knots
