Description

Elevate your weeknight meals with air fryer gnocchi: crispy yet pillowy, a delightful textural contrast. Try it with different sauces for endless flavor combinations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. Gnocchi, Shelf stable / refrigerated / frozen
  • 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning - Optional
  • 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

    1. Start by taking those soft, delicious dumplings and give them a toss in a bit of oil - just enough to coat them lightly.
    2. Next sprinkle on the seasonings. Salt, garlic powder, Italian herbs, smoky paprika and grated parmesan cheese to add some fun twists to your dish.
    3. Once your gnocchi are happily coated in their oil and seasoning ensemble, lay them out in the air fryer basket.
    4. The ideal cooking time is around 15 to 18 minutes, but this could vary slightly depending on your model and preferences.
    5. Remember to shake the basket halfway to ensure uniform cooking
    6. Plate them with a flourish, and serve immediately to wow the crowd

Notes

Do's:

  • Do preheat your air fryer to ensure your gnocchi starts cooking immediately and evenly.
  • Do use a light hand with the oil – a misting is all you need.
  • Do season generously. A little salt and spice go a long way in flavor town.
  • Do give them space. Spreading out the gnocchi prevents them from steaming and encourages crispiness.
  • Do give them a good shake or stir about halfway through cooking to promote even browning and crunch.

Don'ts:

  • Don't overcrowd the basket. Resisting the temptation to cook all at once will reward you with better texture.
  • Don't spare the seasoning. Plain gnocchi is a missed opportunity for great flavor.
  • Don't skip the shake! It's crucial for that all-around golden crust.
  • Don't ignore your intuition. If they look done before the timer dings, trust your eyes—and taste buds.
