Units
Scale
- 1 lb gnocchi (shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen; regular, cauliflower, or sweet potato)
- 1–2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2–3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Lightly spray the basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. - Season the Gnocchi:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
If using frozen gnocchi, do not thaw before air frying. - Air Fry the Gnocchi:
- Shelf-Stable & Refrigerated Gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 11-14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4-5 minutes until the gnocchi is golden and crispy on all sides.
- Frozen Gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 13-16 minutes, shaking every 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve:
Enjoy immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired. Serve as a side, appetizer, or add to salads as a “crouton.” They’re delicious with marinara or pesto for dipping.
Notes
- Homemade Gnocchi: You can use homemade gnocchi for this recipe. For a variation, try homemade sweet potato gnocchi.
- Vegan Option: Omit the Parmesan and substitute with nutritional yeast for a vegan-friendly version.
- Storage: For best results, enjoy the gnocchi immediately. If storing leftovers, keep them in an airtight container (without sauce) in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4-6 minutes to regain crispiness.
