Preheat the oven to 350˚ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Roll pizza dough out on a flat surface to a square that is approximately 8 inches by 8 inches.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the square into 6 strips both horizontally and vertically for a total of 36 pieces.
Take a piece of dough and tuck the corners underneath. Lightly pinch them together while twisting to form a ball.
Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium low heat with the parsley, oregano and garlic powder.
Generously coat each piece of dough in the garlic herb butter mixture, using a pastry brush and then sprinkle them with half of the parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden brown. Sprinkle the bites with the remaining parmesan cheese and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Garlic - Add extra minced garlic to the butter mixture for an extra garlicky flavor. Spicy - Add ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic herb butter. Herbs - Fresh herbs cam be used instead of dried. Make sure to mince them finely and double the quantity. You can also substitute the oregano and parsley for Italian seasoning. Cheese - Either grated or shredded cheese can be used. Pecorino romano or asiago cheese are also great substitutes. EXTRA Cheese - Wrap a small piece of mozzarella cheese in each dough ball when shaping them for some extra cheesy little nuggets! Dairy Free - Use a dairy-free or plant-based substitute for both butter and parmesan cheese. Olive oil can also be used instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Dip - Double the garlic butter and use the extra for dipping. Also try alfredo or pesto sauce for dipping too. Shapes - Instead of shaping the dough into balls, cut them into larger strips or leave them in squares. They can be cut into ropes as well and shaped into garlic knots.
