Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb gnocchi (shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen) Choose regular potato, cauliflower, or sweet potato gnocchi.
- 1-2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil Use less for lighter coating; use spray to lightly grease basket.
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt Adjust to taste.
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2-3 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan Plus extra for garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C) and lightly grease the basket.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gnocchi, 1–2 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and 2–3 tbsp grated Parmesan. Toss until evenly coated.
- Add the seasoned gnocchi to the preheated basket in a single layer, avoiding piling or overlapping.
Cooking
- For shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 11–14 minutes. For frozen gnocchi: Air fry at 390°F for 13–16 minutes.
- Shake the basket every 4–5 minutes to turn the gnocchi and promote even browning.
