These air fryer garlic knots with pizza dough are unbelievably easy to make! They come out perfect every time; lightly browned on the outside and soft on the inside.
Mix together the olive oil, garlic and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.
Divide the premade pizza dough into 8 equal sized pieces. Sprinkle the flour on your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking
Roll each piece of dough into a log shape, about 6-8 inches long.
Tie each long piece of dough into a knot.
Tuck the ends of the dough behind the knot. Repeat with each piece until you have 8 garlic knots.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the air fryer is preheated, add the garlic knots in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
Air fry the garlic knots for 8 minutes.
Remove the garlic knots from the air fryer. Toss them in a large bowl with the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Mix until they are evenly coated.
Add the garlic knots to a serving dish and top with flaky salt if desired.

Notes
If the pizza dough is sticky you may want to have some flour to use as you roll and shape the knots. Use the olive oil mixture AFTER the garlic knots cook in the air fryer. Adding it before cooking will cause the garlic to burn. The knots will cook perfectly without adding any oil to the air fryer.
