Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the uncooked gnocchi in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the gnocchi. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt over the gnocchi. Toss again to distribute the spices.
- Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The gnocchi should look golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked gnocchi from the air fryer and immediately transfer them to a bowl.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot gnocchi and toss quickly until the cheese melts slightly onto the pieces.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the gnocchi are dry before adding oil.
- If you prefer a softer coating, toss with the Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
- Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
