→ Key Components
01 -
1-2 tbsp of high-quality olive oil
02 -
1 lb of gnocchi (frozen, refrigerated, or shelf-stable)
03 -
1/2 tsp of salt
04 -
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
05 -
1/2 tsp of black pepper
06 -
2-3 tbsp of parmesan cheese, freshly grated
# Steps:
01 -
Get your air fryer heated to 390°F and spray a light coat of olive oil on the basket to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a big bowl, mix gnocchi with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan. Keep frozen gnocchi as-is—no need to defrost.
03 -
If you're using gnocchi from the fridge or pantry: Air fry at 390°F for 11 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket every few minutes until they're golden and crisp.
04 -
If your gnocchi is frozen: Air fry at 390°F for 13 to 16 minutes, making sure to shake the basket every 4 or 5 minutes to ensure everything cooks evenly and crisps up beautifully.
05 -
Serve right away, sprinkle on more parmesan and some parsley if you'd like. Perfect as a side, or pair up with pesto or marinara for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to use any variety of gnocchi—potato, sweet potato, or even cauliflower.
02 -
Enjoy this while it's warm for the best crunchy texture.

Swap parmesan with nutritional yeast to make it suitable for a vegan diet.
