    AIR FRYER GARLIC KNOT PIZZA RECIPE

    Everyone loves pizza right? This garlic knot pizza recipe is like pizza, but way more exciting.

    We're taking refrigerated biscuit dough and wrapping it around savory italian spices and garlic, pepperoni, and cheese to make garlic knots.

    Then we're topping the knots with more cheese and more pepperoni to create a melty masterpiece of pizza goodness, all in the air fryer.

    If you want a pizza snack with really minimal work, try Air Fryer Pizza Rolls. For a simple pizza recipe you can make Pizza in the air fryer.

    INGREDIENTS IN AIR FRYER GARLIC KNOT PIZZA

    Butter - We'll add butter to the inside of our knots.

    Italian Seasoning - This blend of dried herbs turns any dish into a savory, Italian delight.

    Parmesan Cheese - We add shredded parmesan cheese inside of the garlic knots.

    Garlic Salt - This is what gives us the garlic flavor.

    Refrigerated Biscuits - We'll use these as a shortcut to make our garlic knots. This dough is already ready to use.

    Mozzarella Cheese - Top your garlic knot pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese. It gets melty and delicious.

    Pepperoni- I take sliced pepperoni and cut it down into quarters. This way you get more pepperoni in every bite!

    Spray Oil - Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket or baking dish to keep the dough from sticking.

    Fresh Herbs - to garnish this dish at the end, try fresh parsley or basil, chopped.

    If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and I will get back to you.

    HOW TO MAKE GARLIC KNOT PIZZA IN THE AIR FRYER

    1. Remove the biscuit dough from the tube and cut each piece in half.
    2. Gently stretch or roll the pieces into triangles.
    3. Whisk together melted butter, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, and Garlic salt. Spread the mixture onto one side of each dough piece.
    4. Top the dough pieces with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Set aside some of the pepperoni and cheese for later.
    5. Gently fold the dough pieces in half the long way (like a taco), Then pull the ends together to form a lose knot. Place the knots into an oiled air fryer pot. Air fry as directed in the recipe.
    6. Remove from air fryer, top with remaining cheese and pepperoni. Place back into the warm air fryer and let the residual heat melt the cheese.

    These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below.

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH GARLIC KNOT PIZZA

    Serve a nice green salad with this dish and you have a full meal that everyone will enjoy.

    A side of marinara sauce would be great for dipping.

    Air Fryer Chicken Wings would pair well with garlic knot pizza too for a pizza and wings experience.

    SHOULD I ADD SAUCE TO GARLIC KNOT PIZZA?

    I don't include any sauce in this recipe for a really good reason. I find that it makes the dish soggy and doesn't cook as well as I like it too. If you feel like you want sauce with your garlic knot pizza, serve it on the side.

    VARIATIONS FOR GARLIC KNOT PIZZA

    The fun thing about pizza is that you can add whatever toppings you like!

    Swap out the pepperoni for cooked bacon, sausage, or mushrooms.

    Add some crushed red pepper to the butter mixture for a little bit of heat.

    Add a small amount of cooked veggies like onions, peppers, or even broccoli.

    We are frequently asked about the pot that we use with our air fryer.

    While, you can typically use any oven safe dish, we like this specific Air Fryer Pot.

    We use it to make many recipes. You can purchase it on Amazon.

    This recipe was made in a Cosori Air Fryer with a Basket. The recipe should work in other air fryers.

    Keep in mind that each air fryer runs differently, it is important to check your food often.

    If you have a Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven or a Ninja Basket Air Fryer, both of these units seem to run "hotter" than most air fryers. That means you will need to LESSEN the cook time.
