Crispy Air Fryer Gnocchi
Enjoy the delightful taste of crispy air fryer gnocchi, a quick and versatile dish for any meal.
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.
