Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time16 minutes
Total Time21 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound gnocchi (shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
  • fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (199°C).
  • Lightly coat the air fryer basket with non-stick spray or brush with a little olive oil.
  • In a large bowl, toss the gnocchi with 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  • If using shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi, air fry at 390°F for 11–14 minutes, shaking the basket every 4–5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  • If using frozen gnocchi, air fry at 390°F for 13–16 minutes, shaking the basket every 4–5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the gnocchi from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan and chopped fresh parsley, if using, then serve.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Large Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons

Notes

  • Adjust oil amount to lightly coat the gnocchi.
  • Cook in a single layer for best crispness.
  • Shake the basket every 4–5 minutes for even browning.
  • Use the lower end of the cook time for smaller batches.
