Tips for the Best Crispy Gnocchi

No need to boil – Just coat with oil and season, then air fry directly.
Shake the basket – Helps cook evenly on all sides.
Use parmesan cheese – It adds extra crispiness.
Make it spicy – Add red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne.
Air fry in batches – Overcrowding can make them less crispy.

Serving Suggestions

🍗 Side Dish – Perfect with grilled chicken, steak, or fish.
🧀 Cheesy Snack – Toss with melted butter and shredded cheese.
🥗 Salad Topper – Add to a fresh green salad for a crunchy texture.
