Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Large Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound gnocchi shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (about 200°C).
  • Lightly coat the air fryer basket with nonstick spray or brush with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, toss the gnocchi with 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Place the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  • If using shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi, air fry at 390°F for 11–14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4–5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  • If using frozen gnocchi, air fry at 390°F for 13–16 minutes, shaking the basket every 4–5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the gnocchi from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan and chopped fresh parsley to taste; serve warm.

Notes

  • Use one layer in the basket for best crisping.
  • Shake the basket every 4–5 minutes to cook evenly.
  • Adjust oil amount to lightly coat gnocchi without pooling.
  • Frozen gnocchi may need the longer specified time.
