Ingredients
Gnocchi
- 1 lb (450 g) shelf-stable gnocchi
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) and allow it to heat up fully before cooking the gnocchi for best results.
- Toss gnocchi with seasonings: In a bowl, combine the gnocchi with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow for even air circulation and crisping.
- Cook the gnocchi: Air fry the gnocchi for a total of 13 minutes, shaking the basket 3-4 times during the cooking process. This helps ensure that the gnocchi cooks evenly and all sides become golden and crispy.
- Serve hot: Once golden and crispy, remove the gnocchi from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- This recipe has been tested with shelf-stable gnocchi; cooking times may vary if using cauliflower, fresh, or frozen gnocchi.

- To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F), lightly spray the gnocchi with oil, and heat for 3-5 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
