Description

This Air Fryer Gnocchi is so crispy and super easy to make in under 15 minutes! Serve it as an appetizer or side dish!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounce dry package of potato gnocchi
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce for dipping
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated fine


Instructions

  1. Add the gnocchi into a large bowl and make sure to break them apart if they're sticking together. Pour in olive and salt and use your hands to toss and coat all the gnocchi.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Once preheated, add the gnocchi in one layer and close. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking half way through.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium low heat, melt butter and add in garlic. Cook for 90 seconds until lightly toasted.
  4. Pour hot garlic butter into a large bowl.
  5. If you want to serve the gnocchi with marinara, heat the sauce on low in a saucepan or the same skillet as the garlic butter.
  6. Once the gnocchi are nice and crispy, add them to the warm garlic butter. Sprinkle in the oregano, basil and parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
  7. Serve with the side of warm marinara and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to preheat the air fryer before adding them so it's nice and hot and they can get really crispy exteriors.
  • To avoid burning the garlic, transfer the garlic butter to a bowl as soon as it's cooked.
