Crispy Air Fryer Gnocchi
Crispy air fryer gnocchi will be your favorite way to make the pillowy Italian potato dumplings. After tasting these, you’ll never boil gnocchi again!
Have you ever had gnocchi?
These Italian potato pasta dumplings are little pieces of heaven.
They are amazing with sauce or even just some melted butter on top.
But my friends you haven’t lived until you have had air fryer gnocchi.
The outside of the gnocchi gets deliciously crispy but the inside stays soft and pillowy.
It’s addictingly delicious plus you don’t have to watch it as closely as you would have to if you boil it.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Gnocchi– Potato gnocchi that you find in the pasta section. Do not use refrigerated or frozen gnocchi.
- Olive oil– Extra virgin preferred
- Seasoning– Salt and garlic powder
- Grated parmesan cheese– For serving
- Sauce– Marinara or any sauce you’d like for serving
How to Make Gnocchi in the Air Fryer
Making air fryer gnocchi is so easy!
Just add the gnocchi to a mixing bowl and drizzle it with olive oil.
Toss the gnocchi with salt and garlic powder until it is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the gnocchi out in the basket of your air fryer.
Air fry the gnocchi for 13 minutes, shaking the basket every 2 to 3 minutes.
When the gnocchi is brown and crispy, transfer it to a plate and top it with parmesan cheese and your desired sauce.
Serve and enjoy!
Storing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
If you store leftovers longer, they will dry out too much for you to enjoy them again.
Tips and Tricks
- This recipe is only meant for shelf stable gnocchi, NOT the refrigerated or frozen variety.
- To reheat, return the gnocchi to the basket of an air fryer and spritz with oil. Air fry for 3-5 minutes, just until heated through.
- While this recipe calls for marinara, you could absolutely serve this gnocchi with your choice of Italian sauce. Pesto or Alfredo would be delicious as well!
