   • Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
   • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
   • Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the knots, making sure to coat them well.
5. Add Parmesan:
   • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the knots.
6. Bake:
