How to cook crispy gnocchi in the Air Fryer?
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 200°C (3 minutes is enough). Place your gnocchi in a bowl, add a drizzle of oil, and mix well to coat each piece.
- Spread the gnocchi in the basket without overlapping them. For a large quantity, do it in two batches to keep everything crispy 👌.
- Start cooking : 12 min for fresh gnocchi, 14 min for frozen. Shake or stir halfway through cooking for even browning 🔄.
- Check the texture at the end of cooking: they should be golden brown, slightly puffed, tender in the center but crisp on the outside.
- Season as soon as you take them out: fleur de sel, grated parmesan, fresh herbs, candied garlic, spices... Serve immediately, that's when they're at their best 😍!

FAQ — Crispy Air Fryer Gnocchi
What type of gnocchi works best?
Fresh store-bought gnocchi are perfect, but frozen or homemade gnocchi also work very well 🥔. The trick is not to overload the basket to keep it crispy.
Should I boil them before Air Fryer?
No, absolutely not! Put them raw in the basket (just drained if vacuum-packed). Cooking them directly in the Air Fryer gives them that puffed, golden finish.
Oil required?
A drizzle of oil (olive or rapeseed) is recommended for crispness and color 🌟. Without oil, they risk drying out and sticking.
Can we add herbs or garlic?
Yes: add candied garlic, thyme, oregano, paprika, parmesan… right after cooking! For extra flavor, try our Air Fryer candied garlic recipe .
How to keep gnocchi crispy?
Squeeze them immediately! If you have to wait, leave them in the warm basket, uncovered, to prevent them from getting soggy.
