Equipment

air fryer
large mixing bowl
spoon

Ingredients

16 oz shelf-stable gnocchi
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic salt or other seasoning

Instructions

Add the gnocchi, olive oil, cornstarch, and garlic salt to a large bowl. Stir well until every piece is evenly coated.
Place the gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400℉ for 15 minutes, shaking or stirring every 5 minutes so they cook evenly.
Let the gnocchi cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as-is or dip in marinara sauce, white pasta sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Storing: Store leftover gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. To reheat, place back in the air fryer at 390℉ for 2–3 minutes until warmed and crispy again.

Tip 1: Do not skip the oil. It’s essential for proper browning and crisping..

Tip 2: Shake every 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.

Tip 3: Don’t overcrowd the basket. If needed, cook in batches for maximum crispiness
