How to make air fryer gnocchi
Preheat the air fryer at 180C/365F for 3-5 minutes
To a large bowl, add the gnocchi, melted butter, olive oil, herbs de Provence, onion granules, garlic granules, salt, and black pepper, and mix to combine, making sure all the gnocchi are well coated.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil and place the gnocchi in the air fryer basket spreading it out in a single layer.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and pillowy, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even cooking. Serve immediately with tomato sauce or as desired. Enjoy!
Tips
The key to making sure the gnocchi is cooked evenly is to cook it in a single layer. If you overcrowd the pan, the dumplings may steam instead of being air-fried. As a result, they will not be as crispy.
Another thing to remember is to flip the gnocchi or shake the basket halfway through cooking so that both sides are evenly crispy.
