Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 lb gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Heat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the gnocchi evenly and quickly.
  2. Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gnocchi, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and parmesan cheese. Toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
  3. Place in Air Fryer Basket: Transfer the seasoned gnocchi to the air fryer basket in a single layer to promote even cooking and crispiness.
  4. Cook the Gnocchi: Air fry the gnocchi for 13-15 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket 3-4 times during cooking to ensure all sides become golden and crispy.
  5. Serve: Once the gnocchi are crispy and golden brown, garnish with fresh parsley and extra parmesan cheese if desired. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Shake the basket multiple times during cooking to avoid sticking and promote even crisping.
  • For added flavor, try sprinkling with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary before cooking.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as gnocchi may soften if left to sit.
  • Marinara sauce or garlic aioli pairs well as a dipping sauce.
