Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shelf-stable dry gnocchi
- 2.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 2.5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, let it run for 4-5 minutes before adding the gnocchi.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, ensuring the gnocchi is evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.
- Add the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer to the air fryer basket and cook for 10-14 minutes, shaking the basket every 3-4 minutes or until the gnocchi is golden brown.
- Serve immediately topped with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Do not thaw frozen gnocchi if using – add directly to the bowl with seasonings. Arrange gnocchi in a single layer to maximize crispiness and avoid overlapping. Every air fryer runs differently, so adjust cooking time as needed for your specific appliance.
