  3. Pre-heat oven to 400F/200C.
THE TOPPING
  1. In a small bowl whisk the olive oil, oregano, parsley, parmigiano, garlic and salt, combine well.
  2. Brush the knots with some of the topping, bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden brown, remove from the oven then brush the knots with the remaining topping and serve warm. Enjoy!
