Equipment

  • Instant Pot Air Fryer Vortex Plus

Ingredients

  • 1 lb gnocchi (450-500 grams), shelf-stable is best but refrigerated is also fine
  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon Parmesan, shelf-stable is best for this
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (you could use dried thyme, oregano, or basil)

To serve:

  • Favorite marinara sauce, pesto, aioli, or ketchup

Instructions

Preheat Air Fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 395°F (200°C).

Season Gnocchi:

  • In a large bowl, toss the gnocchi with olive oil until well coated. Then, evenly sprinkle it with pepper, salt, Parmesan, garlic powder, and herbs. Toss again to coat the gnocchi evenly with the seasonings.

Air Fry Gnocchi:

  • Add the seasoned gnocchi to the air fryer basket and spread them out evenly. Air fry for 12 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • If serving the gnocchi as a main, heat your favorite marinara sauce. If serving as a snack or appetizer, prepare a dipping bowl with ketchup, salsa, aioli, or a mix of pesto and mayonnaise.
  • Serve hot with a little extra Parmesan sprinkled on top!

Notes

Storage: Store leftover gnocchi in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back into the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 375°F to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
Which gnocchi to use: shelf-stable, pantry gnocchi is best for this recipe but fresh, refrigerated kind is also great but will need slightly shorter cooking time, about 10 minutes.
