Main Ingredients

  • 16 ounces gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
  • Place the seasoned gnocchi in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the basket.

Cooking

  • Air fry the gnocchi for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
  • Remove the gnocchi from the air fryer once they are golden brown and crispy.

Serving

  • Garnish with fresh herbs and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired before serving.

Notes

For optimal crispiness, use fresh or frozen gnocchi. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Experiment with spices and dipping sauces to suit your taste.
