Notes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb dry/shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to heat for 5 minutes.
  2. Place the gnocchi in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Toss well so every piece is evenly coated with the seasonings. Sprinkle in the arrowroot powder and grated Parmesan, then toss again until the gnocchi are fully coated.
  3. Arrange the seasoned gnocchi in the air fryer basket in a single, even layer. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, gently shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning. The gnocchi are ready when they are golden brown with a crisp exterior.
  4. Serve alongside jarred tomato sauce and Parmesan garlic sauce. Finish with extra grated Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
