Description

A delightful recipe that transforms fluffy gnocchi into golden, crispy bites, infused with garlic and Parmesan.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb gnocchi (shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen)
  • 12 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 23 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F and lightly grease the basket with olive oil spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese until well-coated.
  3. If using frozen gnocchi, DO NOT thaw it; add it directly from the freezer.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned gnocchi in the preheated basket, ensuring they aren’t overlapping.
  5. Air fry fresh/refrigerated gnocchi for 11 – 14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. For frozen gnocchi, air fry for 13 – 16 minutes, shaking similarly until golden on the outside.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, soak the gnocchi in water for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Preheat the air fryer for best results.
