Ingredients
- olive oil spray
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup fat free Greek Yogurt
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all purpose or white whole wheat flour
Instructions
- 1
Begin by setting your oven to 375°F. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with a silicone mat or Silpat.
- 2
In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking thoroughly. Incorporate the yogurt using a spoon until the mixture is unified. Then, with lightly floured hands, knead the dough approximately 15 times. If the dough feels overly sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour. Shape it into a ball.
- 3
Cut the dough into 8 equal portions, then roll each portion into elongated strips, roughly 9 inches in length.
- 4
Form each strip into a knot shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly mist the tops with olive oil.
- 5
Position the baking sheet in the upper third of the oven and bake for about 18 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes afterward.
- 6
In the meantime, in a medium nonstick skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic, cooking until it turns golden brown, which should take around 2 minutes.
- 7
Either toss the knots in the skillet with the melted butter and garlic or use a brush to coat them with the garlic mixture.
- 8
If the knots seem a bit dry, give them another light spray of olive oil. Finish by sprinkling with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- 9
Preheat the air fryer to 325°F and set the timer for 11 to 12 minutes. Cook the knots in batches to avoid overcrowding, allowing them to bake until golden, without the need to turn them over.
