Fried Gnocchi are great for appetizers and to make them lighter, you can cook them in an air fryer with just a drizzle of oil. Crunchy on the outside with a nice golden crust but soft inside, these gnocchi will conquer everyone. They are as addictive as cherries, one leads to another!
They are prepared in a flash, and you can season them with your preferred spices, in this case, I used paprika and chives. To vary, you can use sage, chili powder, garlic, parsley, curry, nutmeg… the possibilities are endless, it all depends on your personal taste.
For this recipe, I recommend using store-bought gnocchi, the ones packaged in a plastic bag. Preparing this dish is so easy that you won’t dirty anything; the gnocchi are seasoned directly in the air fryer’s basket with oil and spices.
Of course, if you don’t own an air fryer you can also bake this donut in the oven, at the end of the recipe you will find the baking methods.
If you are considering purchasing one, I recommend a fryer like mine, you will find the links in the recommended tools!
