Air Fried Gnocchi with Burst Tomatoes

Makes 2 to 3 servings

A quick and simple meal that will be on the table in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound shelf-stable or frozen gnocchi (cauliflower or potato)
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Olive oil, for spraying
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 pinches kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving

Preparation

  1. Put the gnocchi, tomatoes, and garlic into a large mixing bowl. Spray liberally with the olive oil and then sprinkle with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to fully coat. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the gnocchi to absorb the flavors.
  2. Transfer the gnocchi-tomato mixture into the basket. Place the basket in the air fryer. Select Air Fry, and set the time to 18 minutes* and the temperature to 375°F. Press Start/Stop. When alerted, shake the basket to toss, and replace the basket to finish cooking.
  3. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl. Toss with the basil, Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil.

*Some types and brands of gnocchi take less time. When stopping to shake the gnocchi, take a good look at the coloring of the gnocchi. If they are already browning, then reduce the final cooking time.
