Have you ever had a recipe that you try once and then become obsessed with and make every day for two weeks straight? Ok well most of you have actually probably not done that but that happens to me all the time. I will find a really great easy recipe that my family loves and then continually make that till I either replace it with something else or my family gets tired of eating it. The great thing about the recipe below is that it was not only really easy but my family loves bread so they could consume a ton of these rolls all the time. These are so simple because they are made with premade dough. Here is the recipe!
Parmesan Knots
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon garlic powder
dash of pepper
3 cans (12 oz.) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Mix together all the ingredients minus the biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half and roll them into about a 6″ rope, tie in a loose knot and place on cookie tray. Bake in oven for 6-8 minutes at 450 degrees. I found that covering them with parchment paper about half way through gives them a very nice golden brown color. Take out of the oven and brush them with Parmesan mixture.
Yields: 5 dozen
Nutritional value: These are about 100 calories each.
Taste: These were really really good and I usually have leftover rolls and mixture so I can make them again the next day. My family is always really happy about that.
Cost: They are also very low cost at about 6 dollars for the biscuits and when I make them at home my house has the rest of the ingredients.
Ease of Making: These were very easy and quick the only problem I have is getting them a nice golden color and I solve that by taking my mom’s advice and using parchment paper. Thanks Mom:)
These roll are great because they can be a before dinner snack or you can serve them with pretty much any dish. You could do a pasta dish or a meat dish and both would be delightful.
