Air-Fryer Gnocchi
Description
Air-Fryer Gnocchi utilizes shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen potato gnocchi tossed in olive oil and seasonings, then cooked in the air fryer to develop a crispy surface. Shaking the basket periodically ensures even browning and prevents sticking. The gnocchi become golden and crispy on the outside while soft inside, providing a contrast in texture. After cooking, Parmesan adds a salty richness and parsley lends freshness to the dish.
This method is convenient for creating crispy gnocchi without using a stovetop or frying oil and can serve as a side dish or appetizer. Timing varies slightly based on gnocchi type, with frozen requiring longer cook times. The dish is best enjoyed shortly after cooking for optimal crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound gnocchi shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- parsley chopped, for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly coat the basket with a non-stick spray or olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well.
- Place the seasoned gnocchi in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- For shelf-stable and refrigerated gnocchi: Air fry at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 11-14 minutes. Shake the basket every 4-5 minutes. The gnocchi are ready when golden brown and crispy.
- For frozen gnocchi: Air fry at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for a bit longer, 13-16 minutes. You also need to shake the basket every 4-5 minutes. Stop when golden brown and crispy.
- Remove gnocchi from the air fryer once cooked and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley (optional).
