For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture for a subtle kick. If you don't have fresh oregano, dried oregano can be substituted. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano. Ensure the gnocchi are well-drained before air frying to achieve maximum crispiness. Patting them dry with a paper towel can also help. Adjust the air frying time based on your air fryer model. Keep a close eye on the gnocchi to prevent burning. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Pecorino Romano or Asiago would also be delicious in this recipe.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine the halved grape tomatoes, olive oil, minced oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
02
StepBring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked through. This should take approximately 3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi thoroughly in a colander, shaking off any excess water. (5 minutes)
03
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the air fryer basket is clean and dry for optimal crisping. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined, creating a luscious coating for the gnocchi. Add the drained gnocchi to the bowl and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated in the butter and cheese mixture. (5 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the coated gnocchi to the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are spread in a single layer to promote even cooking. Air fry for a total of 12 minutes, shaking the basket every 3 minutes to prevent sticking and encourage uniform browning. The gnocchi should be golden brown and crispy on the outside. (15 minutes)
06
StepDivide the reserved tomato mixture evenly between serving bowls. Top each bowl with the air-fried gnocchi, creating a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. (2 minutes)

Jun 29, 2025I found that 12 minutes was a little too long for my air fryer. I'd recommend checking them after 9 minutes.

Jun 20, 2025My gnocchi stuck to the basket a bit. Next time, I'll try spraying the basket with cooking oil first.
