Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix grated Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic.
- Dip each biscuit in melted butter, then into the cheese mixture.
- Twist each biscuit and place in a muffin tin.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using garlic powder or fresh minced garlic in the cheese mixture. If you want a twist on the traditional Parmesan, try substituting with mozzarella or cheddar for a different taste. Ensure the biscuits are room temperature before dipping to help the butter and cheese mixture adhere better. For a delicious side, pair these twists with Southern-Style Baked Macaroni And Cheese.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these garlic twists warm as an appetizer or snack. They pair wonderfully with marinara sauce or a side salad for a lighter meal. For a complete dinner, consider serving alongside grilled chicken or your favorite pasta dish. They also make an excellent accompaniment to Chilled Fruit In Cream for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover garlic twists in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits; just make sure to thaw them according to package instructions before dipping and twisting. This will ensure they bake evenly and achieve the right texture.
What can I substitute for Parmesan cheese?
If you're looking for a substitute for Parmesan cheese, try using Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor or nutritional yeast for a vegan option. Both will give a unique twist to your garlic twists.
Can I make the dough from scratch instead of using biscuits?
Absolutely! You can make homemade biscuit dough using flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and milk. Roll it out and cut it into strips before following the same dipping and twisting process for a more personalized touch.
