FAQ ❓

How do you crisp gnocchi in the oven or air fryer?

For crispy gnocchi, mix them with olive oil (or butter) and spices (you can flavor them as you like). Then spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the basket of the air fryer. Bake for 12 minutes at 390°F/200°C in the air fryer and 20 minutes at 390°F/200°C in the oven (preheated beforehand) to obtain a golden texture with a slightly crunchy exterior.
Commercial gnocchi (fresh or vacuum-packed) are ideal. You can use pan-fried or classic gnocchi. Avoid stuffed gnocchi, which don't become as crispy. You can also use homemade gnocchi, but be sure to dry them well before cooking.
A skyr or Greek yoghurt sauce, with shallots, lemon, dill and fresh chives, adds freshness and perfectly balances the gourmet side of the gnocchi. You can also add a touch of garlic or replace the herbs to suit your taste.
Cucumbers and cherry tomatoes are ideal for their freshness and crunchiness. You can also vary with radishes, peppers, corn, arugula or even fresh spinach. The important thing is to keep a good balance between textures and flavors, and the best way to do this is to use seasonal fruits and vegetables to make your salad.
You can prepare the vegetables and sauce in advance, but it's best to cook the gnocchi at the last minute to keep them crispy. It's best to mix everything together just before serving.
Don't mix hot gnocchi with sauce or vegetables. Let them cool slightly in the open air to retain their crispness. Assemble the salad at the last minute for the perfect texture.
This salad can be kept for 1 to 2 days in a cool place, but the gnocchi will lose some of their crispness. It's best to keep the gnocchi separate and add them to the salad as you serve them, if you want to eat the salad in batches.
