Ingredients for Crispiest Air Fryer Gnocchi
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| 1 lb gnocchi, shelf-stable, refrigerator, or frozen | 1 lb |
| extra-virgin olive oil | 1 – 2 tbsp |
| garlic powder | ½ tsp |
| salt | ½ tsp |
| black pepper | ½ tsp |
| freshly grated parmesan | 2 – 3 tbsp |
Preparation for Crispiest Air Fryer Gnocchi
- To make the crispiest air fryer gnocchi, start by preheating the air fryer to 390°F and lightly greasing the basket with olive oil spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the gnocchi with the other ingredients, making sure to not thaw the frozen gnocchi if using.
- Once seasoned, add the gnocchi to the preheated basket, being careful not to overlap them so that they crisp evenly.
- If using shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi, air fry them for 11-14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4-5 minutes until they’re golden and crispy on all sides.
- For frozen gnocchi, air fry for 13-16 minutes, shaking the basket every 4-5 minutes until they’re golden and crispy on all sides. Be sure to check that they’re not burned.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
- You can serve these as a side dish with your favorite main course, as an appetizer with marinara sauce or pesto for dipping, or as a “crouton” on top of your favorite salad.
