Ingredients
1 lb potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the gnocchi during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Remove from the air fryer, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, cook the gnocchi in batches to ensure they crisp up evenly.
Experiment with different seasonings like Italian herbs or paprika for additional flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
