Description

Learn how to make the crispiest air fryer gnocchi with this easy recipe. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to golden perfection, these air-fried gnocchi make a delicious snack or side dish.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shelf-stable potato gnocchi
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings:

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Optional for Serving:

  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Prepare Gnocchi: In a large bowl, toss the gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Cook Gnocchi: Spread the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
