Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper to create the garlic butter. Set aside.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
- Brush the entire surface of the pastry lightly with about half of the garlic butter mixture.
- Cut the pastry sheet lengthwise into 8 equal strips.
- Take one strip and gently twist it 3 to 4 times to form a loose knot shape. Place the knot onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strips.
- Brush the tops of the knots with the remaining garlic butter mixture.
- Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg wash for better browning.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the knots are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the knots before baking.
- Serve these knots with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- If your pastry is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before cutting.
