Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound gnocchi (about 500 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons oil
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer at 200°C (375°F) for about 5 minutes.
  • Place the gnocchi in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add the oil, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, and grated cheese.
  • Combine everything --- it's easier to use your hands.
  • Make sure all the gnocchi are coated with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Place the seasoned gnocchi into the air fryer.
  • Cook the gnocchi for four minutes, then shake them.
  • Continue cooking for about 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • Transfer your crispy air fryer gnocchi into plates.
  • Garnish with more grated cheese, if preferred --- and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

  • Cook's Tip #1:  I use ready-to-cook gnocchi for this recipe, but you need to cook them longer in the air fryer if you are using frozen gnocchi.
  • Cook's Tip #2:  You might need to cook these crispy gnocchi in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook's Tip #3:  Remember to keep some space in between when you place the gnocchi in the air fryer. It helps in making them evenly crispy.
