Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Shelf-stable potato gnocchi (500g)
- 1 ½ tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon Onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and pat the gnocchi dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, toss the dried gnocchi with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring enough space for air circulation; cook in 2-3 batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 10-14 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice around the 6-7 minute mark, until the gnocchi are golden-brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked gnocchi to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately with marinara or pesto sauce.
Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches to ensure even crisping. The red pepper flakes are optional, adjust to your preferred spice level.
