Ingredients
- 500 g (1 lb) shelf stable or refrigerator gnocchi
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Garnishes: parmesan cheese, fresh parsley or fresh basil
Tomato Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup jarred tomato sauce
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- pinch chili flakes
Pesto Parmesan Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp prepared basil or sundried tomato pesto sauce
- 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Make the dipping sauce of your choice and set aside. Just mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. If desired, make both of the dipping sauces.
- Heat your air fryer to 390°F.
- Grease your air fryer basket with a cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, black pepper and salt with the gnocchi. Toss so the gnocchi are evenly coated.
- Transfer the seasoned gnocchi to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry the gnocchi for 12-16 minutes, shaking the basket every 3-4 minutes. The gnocchi will be golden brown and a little crispy when done.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra parmesan cheese and fresh basil or parsley. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
- I do recommend serving this appetizer immediately, but you can reheat in the air fryer if needed. Heat the air fryer to 350°F, add the gnocchi with a bit of cooking spray and heat for 3-6 minutes.
- You can also use frozen gnocchi, I don’t recommend defrosting it beforehand. They’ll also need slightly longer in the air fryer, about 14-16 minutes.
- Make this a gluten-free appetizer by using shelf-stable gluten-free gnocchi instead of regular gnocchi.
