Preheat air-fryer to 390℉.

Place gnocchi in a large bowl and drizzle with oil, tossing to coat all of the dumplings completely. Add a bit more oil, if needed.

Sprinkle half of the garlic salt on the gnocchi, stir well and add the remaining half, ensuring all gnocchi are seasoned.

Add the gnocchi to the air-fryer basket and bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring at least once halfway through the cooking time.

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Pat Dry for Maximum Crunch 💧
Pat your gnocchi completely dry with paper towels before air frying—excess moisture prevents the golden, crispy exterior you're after and results in soggy texture instead.
Oil Distribution is Key 🫒
Toss gnocchi with oil in a bowl first, then spread in a single layer—this ensures even coating and prevents clumping, which guarantees uniform crispiness on all sides.
Temperature Sweet Spot 🌡️
Air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through—this temperature balance creates golden edges while keeping centers pillowy without overcooking.
Garlic Salt Application Timing ⏱️
Season gnocchi with garlic salt right after tossing with oil, not before air frying, to prevent the salt from drawing out moisture and compromising your crunch.
Single Layer Excellence 📍
Never overcrowd your air fryer basket—gnocchi needs space to circulate hot air, so work in batches if necessary for consistent, restaurant-quality golden results.
