How Long do Garlic Knots Last?

Well, let’s just say they don’t last long in my home! If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to a week. When you are ready to reheat them, pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds or bake them in the oven for a couple of minutes until warmed through.
