Ingredients

1 pound shelf stable gnocchi
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 390ºF.
In a large bowl, toss gnocchi with the remaining ingredients until fully coated.
Once hot, add the gnocchi to the air fryer and cook for 13 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice to prevent sticking and allow them to cook evenly.
Remove from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I used a combination of ranch dressing and pistachio pesto.
