Air Fryer Gnocchi
Description
This Air Fryer Gnocchi recipe involves tossing 1 pound of gnocchi with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and finely grated Parmesan cheese. Placing the gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cooking at 400°F for about 13 to 15 minutes while shaking several times ensures a golden, crispy exterior and soft inside.
The paprika and garlic powder contribute smoky and savory notes, balanced by the umami of Parmesan, intensifying the gnocchi’s flavor. The olive oil lends richness while crisping the surface. Serving suggestions include garnishing with parsley, additional Parmesan, and pairing with a marinara sauce for dipping.
Keeping the gnocchi in a single layer prevents steaming and helps achieve even crispness, a crucial step shared in the notes. Avocado oil can be substituted for a richer flavor, and this air fryer method also works well for cauliflower gnocchi. Spices can be customized for variety.
Ingredients
- 1 lb gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese finely grated
Instructions
- Heat air fryer to 400 degrees F.

Notes
- Arrange gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid steaming; cook in batches if needed for optimal crisping.
- Avocado oil can replace olive oil for a richer flavor.
- This method works well with Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi and yields crisper results than package directions.
- Shaking the basket multiple times during cooking promotes even browning and texture.
- Customize seasonings to taste, making this recipe flexible for different flavor profiles.
