Introduction

Pull-apart garlic rolls are a delightful appetizer or snack, bursting with buttery garlic flavor and melty parmesan cheese. These soft, bite-sized rolls are perfect for sharing and pair wonderfully with marinara sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

• 2 (10 oz) packages refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 4 oz butter
• 1/2 cup freshly grated or shredded parmesan cheese
• 8-10 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a muffin pan using avocado oil spray or any nonstick cooking spray.
2. Step 2: Open the biscuit containers and cut each biscuit into quarters.
3. Step 3: Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl by heating in 15-30 second increments until fully melted.
4. Step 4: Whisk together the melted butter, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, parmesan cheese (reserve some for garnish), and minced garlic.
5. Step 5: Add the biscuit pieces to the butter mixture and toss until they are fully coated.
6. Step 6: Place three pieces of coated biscuit dough into each muffin cup in a single layer.
7. Step 7: Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top of each cup, and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Step 8: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Let the rolls cool slightly, then carefully remove each pull-apart garlic roll from the pan and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
• Try swapping parmesan with shredded mozzarella or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different cheesy twist.
• If you prefer a stronger garlic taste, roast the garlic cloves before mincing them.
• Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary instead of dried oregano and basil for a fresher aroma.
• Serve these warm for the best pull-apart texture and gooey cheese experience.

Storage

Store leftover garlic rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 300ºF for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy edges. Avoid microwaving as it may make them soggy.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use canned biscuit dough instead of refrigerated packs?

Yes, canned biscuit dough works well for this recipe and saves prep time. Just follow the same instructions for cutting and coating.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare the coated biscuit pieces in the muffin pan ahead and cover them tightly, refrigerating overnight. Bake fresh before serving for best results.

Scale 1x2x3x

Rolls

• 2 (10 oz) packages refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 4 oz butter
• 8–10 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup freshly grated or shredded parmesan cheese (reserve some for garnish)

Garnish & Serving

• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Marinara sauce, for dipping
• Avocado oil spray or other nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly grease a muffin pan using avocado oil spray or any nonstick cooking spray to ensure the rolls won’t stick.
2. Prepare biscuit dough: Open the packages of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to create smaller pieces for the pull-apart rolls.
3. Melt butter and mix seasonings: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 15-30 second increments until fully melted. Whisk in minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and parmesan cheese. Reserve some parmesan cheese separately for topping later.
4. Coat biscuit pieces: Add the biscuit quarters into the bowl with the butter and herb mixture. Toss thoroughly so each piece is fully coated with the flavorful mixture.
5. Assemble rolls: Place three pieces of the coated biscuit dough into each muffin cup, layering them carefully in a single layer to allow for pull-apart texture.
6. Add finishing cheese and bake: Sprinkle the reserved parmesan cheese on top of the biscuit pieces in each muffin cup. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and are cooked through.
7. Garnish and serve: Once baked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Let the rolls cool slightly, then carefully remove each pull-apart garlic roll from the pan. Serve warm alongside marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

• Ensure the biscuit pieces are well coated to absorb all the garlic and herb flavors.
• You can substitute parmesan cheese with asiago or romano for a slightly different flavor profile.
• Use fresh herbs instead of dried if preferred, adjusting quantities to taste.
• These rolls are best served warm for optimal softness and flavor.
• Leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven to retain crispness.
