Ingredients
Scale
Gnocchi
- 1 pound potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Toss the gnocchi: In a bowl, combine the potato gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss well until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Spread the gnocchi out in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they crisp up properly. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Air fry the gnocchi: Cook the gnocchi at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. This helps the gnocchi brown evenly and become crispy on all sides.
- Add finishing touches and serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the gnocchi from the air fryer. Optionally, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for extra flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the best crispy texture.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure the gnocchi crisp up evenly.
- Use store-bought or homemade potato gnocchi based on your preference.
- Serving immediately is best as the gnocchi can soften once cooled.
- Parmesan and parsley are optional but add great flavor and color.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and herbs.
