Instructions

First, prepare the crispy gnocchi. In a large bowl, combine the potato gnocchi with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure all gnocchi are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure even crisping.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the gnocchi are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Set aside.
While the gnocchi are cooking, prepare the tomato sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, and sugar. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season the tomato sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can carefully blend it with an immersion blender or transfer it to a regular blender.
Serve the crispy air fryer gnocchi immediately with the warm zesty tomato sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy your meal!

💡 Tipp

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce. You can also experiment with different dried herbs for the gnocchi, such as Italian seasoning or rosemary. To make this dish vegan, simply omit the Parmesan cheese or use a plant-based alternative.

Ersatz & Alternativen

If you don't have an air fryer, you can roast the gnocchi in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Aufbewahrung

Store leftover gnocchi and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gnocchi in the air fryer for best crispness.

Einfrieren

The tomato sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Freezing the gnocchi after air frying is not recommended as they may lose their crispy texture upon reheating.
