Instructions
- Prepare the Gnocchi
- If using store-bought gnocchi, you can cook it directly in the air fryer without boiling.
- If desired, pat the gnocchi dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture for extra crispiness.

- For the first pack, toss the gnocchi with olive oil, sweet paprika, curry powder, dried garlic, and salt. Mix well to coat evenly.
- For the second pack, toss the gnocchi with olive oil, Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
- Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C / 390°F for 2–3 minutes.
- Cook the Gnocchi
- Place the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Check and Serve
- Once golden and crispy on the outside, remove the gnocchi from the air fryer.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., marinara, aioli, or pesto) or enjoy them as is!
