Crispy Air-Fried Gnocchi Bites
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Combine gnocchi, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, chili flakes, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl, and toss until the gnocchi are coated.

  3. 3

    Place the gnocchi in the air fryer basket, preferably in a single layer to ensure they cook through. Air-fry at 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) for 5 minutes, then remove the basket and shake it. Return the basket to the air fryer and continue frying until crisp, about 6 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
