Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb gnocchi shelf-stable, refrigerator, or frozen (regular, cauliflower, or sweet potato)
  • 1-2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390°F and lightly grease the basket with olive oil spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the gnocchi with the rest of the ingredients. If using frozen gnocchi, DO NOT thaw it.
  • Add seasoned gnocchi to the preheated basket. Try to avoid overlapping because they won’t get as crispy.
  • Stelf-Stable & Refrigerated Gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 11 - 14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 to 5 minutes, so they are perfectly golden on all sides. The gnocchi is done when the outsides are golden (not burned) and crispy.
  • Frozen Gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 13 - 16 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 to 5 minutes, so they are perfectly golden on all sides. Frozen gnocchi takes a little bit longer to air fry, but the gnocchi should still be done when the outsides are golden (not burned) and crispy.
  • Enjoy immediately. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve as a side with your favorite main dish, as an appetizer with marinara sauce or pesto for dipping, or add as a crouton on your favorite salad.

Notes

Air fryer gnocchi is best enjoyed immediately for maximum crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4 – 6 minutes for best results.
