Ingredients
- 1 package of store-bought gnocchi (about 500g)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Grated Parmesan, garlic powder, or herbs for extra flavor
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Gnocchi
Boil the gnocchi according to the package instructions. Once they float to the surface, remove them from the water and drain well.
Season the Gnocchi
Transfer the cooked gnocchi to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer, like garlic powder or Parmesan.
Air Fry the Gnocchi
Place the gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the gnocchi are golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy
Once done, remove the gnocchi from the air fryer and serve immediately. Top with more Parmesan or your favorite sauce if desired.
Enjoy your crispy, golden gnocchi as a perfect side dish or snack!
