2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper

Steps

1
Toss gnocchi with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking every 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
3
The gnocchi should be crunchy outside and pillowy inside.
4
Toss with your choice of sauce — marinara, pesto, or brown butter.
5
Top with Parmesan and serve immediately.

💡

Tip: Use shelf-stable (vacuum-packed) gnocchi, not frozen — they crisp up best. Don't skip the oil or they stick together. The shaking is important to crisp all sides evenly. These are addictively crispy and taste nothing like boiled gnocchi.
