Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) package gnocchi in shelf stable packaging or refrigerated
1 Tablespoon avocado oil
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano or dried parsley
½ teaspoon granulated onion
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
Dash of pepper

Instructions

Remove gnocchi from packaging, and break the dumplings apart into a large mixing bowl. Add oil, and use hands or a spoon to make sure the oil evenly coats all of them.
Sprinkle on dried basil, dried oregano, granulated onion, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper.
Use a spoon to toss the gnocchi in the seasonings, so that they're evenly covered.
Pour the seasoned gnocchi into the air fryer basket in an even layer. (Be careful not to overcrowd, or they won't brown as nicely. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.)
Air fry at 390 degrees for 11 to 14 minutes, stopping once or twice to shake the basket for even browning.
Once they're brown and crispy all over, remove the gnocchi from the air fryer basket & put them on a serving plate. Serve with warmed marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Air fryer gnocchi is best fresh. However, you can store & reheat them, if needed. Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. They will last 3 or 4 days.

Reheat in the air fryer. Cook at 360 degrees for 4 to 6 minutes, stopping once to shake the basket.

Baking instructions for a conventional oven

If you don't have an air fryer, you can roast shelf stable or refrigerated gnocchi on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a conventional oven. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Stop to flip after 10 minutes.

Instructions for frozen gnocchi

If you're using frozen gnocchi, air fry them straight from frozen. Toss them in oil and seasonings, the same as listed above. Then air fry at 390 degrees for 13 to 16 minutes, stopping occasionally to shake the basket.
