You can also search directly:

knife search node ‘recipes:name-of-recipe’

This does require that all of your nodes are running a recent enough version of the chef-client that the recipe node attribute actually includes all of the derived recipes.  I think that was fixed in version 11.10.0.

which version of of chef you are using? chef stores all recipe name used by a node in an attribute named 'recipes'. you can look into that

knife search node '*:*' -a recipes | grep 'name of recipe'

Is there a way to tell if a recipe from a cookbook that I wrote is being used

multiple roles and environments so searching through it manually is a bit time
consuming.
