Italian Parmesan Knots are a traditional Italian appetizer that are typically served alongside tomato sauce or marinara. These knots are similar to garlic knots, but with added Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. This quick version is perfect for those who want a delicious snack without committing hours of their time to cooking. These knots are flavorful, soft and chewy on the inside, with a crispy outer layer of Parmesan cheese. Serve them fresh out of the oven with a side of tomato sauce to dip in or enjoy on their own as a quick and easy snack.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.	Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet.
3.	In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried parsley flakes. Stir until well combined.
4.	Open the can of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits and separate them into individual biscuits.
5.	Cut each biscuit into three equal pieces and roll each piece into a rope.
6.	Tie each rope in a knot and place the knots onto the prepared baking sheet.
7.	Brush each knot with the butter and cheese mixture.
8.	Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Serve hot.
