Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 package gnocchi
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil spray
  • 1 tsp garlic salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Preheating gives you better crisping!
  • Add gnocchi to the air fryer, spray with oil and season. Make sure to spread them out in a single layer for best results.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping or shaking halfway through. 
  • Step 4: Pull them out once they’re golden and crispy. Serve right away.

Notes

Quick fixes if something goes wrong:
  • If your gnocchi is not crispy enough, cook it longer or reduce the crowding on the pan or in the basket.
  • If your gnocchi is too chewy, it is likely undercooked or the air fryer is too crowded. Try spreading the gnocchi out and cooking it for a few more minutes. 
  • If your gnocchi is too dry, try adding more oil next time!
