Ingredients

  • 1 lb vegan pizza dough store-bought or homemade, at room temperature
  • 4 tbsp vegan butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional for heat
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Notes

Storage: Store leftover knots in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness. Make-Ahead: Prepare the dough and knots up to the resting step, then refrigerate for up to 24 hours before air frying. Substitutions: Use any vegan butter alternative; for a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free pizza dough. Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of vegan marinara sauce for dipping or serve alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
