Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 200ºC / 400ºF for 3-5 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine gnocchi, thyme, parsley, oregano, onion granules, garlic granules, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper and mix to combine making sure the gnocchi is well coated. If you find your gnocchi too dry, feel free to add another teaspoon of oil and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Place the seasoned gnocchi in the air fryer basket and air fry for a total of 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 minutes to encourage even cooking and crisping of all sides of the gnocchi.
Once the gnocchi is crispy, sizzling, and golden, it is ready to serve! Serve with marinara sauce or with a fresh drizzle of olive oil, a fresh crack of black pepper, and a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or parmesan cheese. Pair with some wine and enjoy!
Notes
Tips
If you're only making gnocchi to add to already made sauce, cook it for only 2 minutes in the air fryer; it will be soft and fluffy, similar to if you boiled it.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket: to get the crispiest air fryer gnocchi, make sure you are only cooking in single layers. I tend to cook about 1 packet at a time which is 500g (about half a pound). If you overcrowd the pan, the gnocchi may not be as crispy and golden and may steam!
Less is more: be simple with your seasoning and don’t go crazy with the oil or you may end up with gnocchi that’s absorbed it all!
Add a piece of parchment paper to line your air fryer basket: this helps to reduce the mess.
