    Air Fryer Gnocchi

    Crispy Air Fryer Gnocchi is an easy-to-make snack or appetizer that transforms gnocchi into a delightful combination of crispy and flavorful, while preserving that soft, pillowy texture on the inside!
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes
    Total Time: 30 minutes
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb gnocchi, homemade or store-bought
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • 1/2 tsp paprika
    • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp pepper
    • tomato sauce for dipping
    • parmesan cheese for serving, if desired

    Instructions

    • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Spray the metal insert of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.
    • In a medium bowl combine the gnocchi, olive oil, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasonings, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the gnocchis in the seasoning and oil / butter.
    • Pour the gnocchis in the air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes or until they are starting to get golden brown and crispy on the outside.
    • Serve immediately with marina sauce for dipping and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if desired.
    • To reheat: Pop these back in the air fryer for 4-5 minutes to recrisp.

    Notes

    • Cooking time may vary depending on what kind of gnocchi you are using! Frozen and homemade gnocchi will both take a little bit longer to warm through and get crispy. If you are using frozen gnocchi, there is not need to thaw it.
    • If using homemade gnocchi, skip the step to boil it and go straight to air frying it! This will cook the gnocchi and crisp it up at the same time.
    • Shake the basket occasionally! I recommend shaking the air fryer basket at least once during the cooking process to make sure that the gnocchi get crispy on all sides.
