Air Fryer Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Description
Crispy air fryer sweet potato gnocchi in 10 minutes — no boiling required! Golden caramelized edges, pillowy soft center, straight from frozen.
Ingredients
- 14 oz sweet potato gnocchi, frozen sweet potato gnocchi (Trader Joe's or other brand)
- 1 tsp olive oil, skip if using pre-sauced Trader Joe's
- ¼ tsp kosher salt, skip if using pre-sauced
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan, optional
Instructions
- Pour the frozen gnocchi into the air fryer basket in a single layer. If using unsauced gnocchi, toss with olive oil and salt first.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Shake the basket at the 5-minute mark to redistribute.
- Check for crispness. If you want them darker, add 2–4 more minutes in 2-minute increments.
- Optional Parmesan: Sprinkle Parmesan on top in the last 2 minutes if using.
- Serve immediately. If you used Trader Joe's, drizzle the leftover butter-sage from the basket back over the top.
Equipment
- Air fryer (any basket-style or oven-style works)
- Tongs or a wooden spoon for shaking
Notes
- Don't preheat for crispier results from frozen.
- Don't thaw the gnocchi first — frozen is faster and crispier.
- Homemade gnocchi: Boil for 60 seconds until they float, then air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes.
- Refrigerated/fresh gnocchi: Drop temperature to 380°F and cook 7–9 minutes.
