    Soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, you have to try this Air Fryer Gnocchi recipe. It’s so easy to make and is made in only a couple of minutes!

    I love gnocchi and always have a package in my pantry since they last forever. If you’ve seen my other air fryer gnocchi post then you’ll know I have this curiosity about if something can be air fried. I’ve made a Sheet Pan Gnocchi Meal Prep in the past so logically it made sense that if gnocchi can be baked then it could be air fried. So after some experimenting, I’ve nailed how to make gnocchi in the air fryer and am low-key obsessed with it.

    Why You’ll Love Making Gnocchi in the Air Fryer

    • It’s so easy to make this gnocchi recipe. All you have to do is toss the gnocchi in some olive oil and seasoning then into the air fryer it goes!
    • It’s so crispy. The crispy interior makes these air fryer gnocchi recipe so addictive. I can pop them like a snack on its own! Definitely much more fun to eat than boiled gnocchi!
    • It pretty easy to change things up by switching around the seasoning.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    Ingredients needed to make air fryer gnocchi.
    • gnocchi — I use shelf stable gnocchi, not fresh. See below for an image of what I mean.
    • olive oil
    • garlic powder
    • onion powder
    • Italian seasoning
    Packaged shelf stabled gnocchi.

    • Air fry for 10 minutes at 400F for soft fluffy gnocchi. Air fry for 15 minutes for crispy crunchy gnocchi. Be sure to shake the basket at the halfway mark.

    Recipe Tips and Notes

    My Recommendation
    This is the air fryer I use. I love how large this air fryer is! It can fit a whole chicken or 2 bags of frozen French fries!

    My Go-To Air fryer
    • This recipe has only been tested with shelf-stable potato gnocchi. I have not tested this with frozen gnocchi, cauliflower gnocchi, fresh gnocchi, etc. I have tried the cheese-filled gnocchi, you can click over for the post.
    • While I can snack on these on their own, you can serve it up with some marinara sauce, pesto sauce, bbq sauce, Homemade Creamy Roasted Garlic, Firecracker Sauce, Hummus Salad Dressing, and more!
    • I use a Philips XXL air fryer which does not require preheating. If your air fryer model requires you to preheat, you should do so for 1-3 minutes.

    Seasoning Variations

    Here are so other seasonings you can use instead of what I used:

    • Cajun
    • Paprika
    • Chinese 5 spice
    • Grated parmesan
    • Dried basil
    • Old bay seasoning
    • Taco seasoning

    Make Ahead Tips

    • Meal prep: once cooled, store the cooked gnocchi in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
    • Reheat: I like to reheat mine in the air fryer. Just spray a bit of olive oil onto the gnocchi and air fry until it has warmed through.
