Equipment

  • Air fryer For optimal crispiness.

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb gnocchi (regular, cauliflower, or sweet potato)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1-2 tablespoons depending on preference
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

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 olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. If using frozen gnocchi, do not thaw it before cooking.
  • Add the seasoned gnocchi to the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping to crisp up evenly.
  • For Shelf-Stable & Refrigerated Gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 11-14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • For Frozen Gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 13-16 minutes, shaking the basket every 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remember, frozen gnocchi may take a little longer but should be perfectly crispy when done.
  • Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy as a side dish, appetizer with marinara or pesto dipping sauce, or as a crunchy addition to salads.

Notes

Experiment with different seasonings like Italian herbs or chili flakes for varied flavors. Serve the air-fried gnocchi hot for the best texture.
