pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber and nutrients.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

red pepper flakes

🥗Healthier: fresh chili

💰Cheaper: black pepper

Fresh chili provides a vibrant flavor with less heat.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Flour your work surface.

Flatten the pizza dough on the counter.

Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch thick.

Roll each strip into a knot by wrapping it around two fingers and twisting.

Place the knots on the prepared sheet pan.

Bake the knots in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

While the knots are baking, prepare the garlic oil by blending fresh parsley, garlic, and 1/4 cup of olive oil until thick.

Once the knots are done, place them in a bowl immediately after removing from the oven.

Pour the garlic oil over the hot knots, using about half of it initially, and toss with wooden spoons until well coated.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

If desired, toss with parmesan cheese before serving.
