In a large mixing bowl, toss the gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
(Optional) Add grated parmesan cheese for extra crispiness.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Air Fry the Gnocchi
Spread the gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overcrowd).
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
The gnocchi should be golden brown and crispy on the outside but soft inside.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Remove the gnocchi from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra parmesan cheese.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
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.
