FAQ ❓

How do you make gnocchi crispy in the oven or air fryer?

For crispy gnocchi, mix them with olive oil (or butter) and spices (you can flavour them as you like). Then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 minutes at 390°F/200°C in the air fryer or 20 minutes at 390°F/200°C in a preheated oven to get a golden finish with a slightly crispy exterior.
Store-bought gnocchi (fresh or vacuum-packed) work very well. You can use gnocchi designed for pan-frying or classic gnocchi. Avoid stuffed gnocchi, which don't get as crispy. You can also use homemade gnocchi, but be sure to dry them well before cooking.
A yoghurt sauce made with skyr or Greek yoghurt, shallot, lemon, dill and fresh chives adds freshness and perfectly balances the richness of the gnocchi. You can also add a touch of garlic or change the herbs to suit your taste.
Cucumber and cherry tomatoes are ideal for their freshness and crunch. You can also vary things with radishes, peppers, corn, arugula or fresh spinach. The important thing is to keep a good balance of textures and flavours. For the best results, use seasonal fruit or vegetables in your salad.
You can prepare the vegetables and sauce in advance, but it's best to cook the gnocchi at the last minute so they stay crispy. It's best to mix everything together just before serving.
Don't mix hot gnocchi with the sauce or vegetables. Let them cool slightly in the open air so they retain their crispness. Assemble the salad at the last minute for the perfect texture.
This salad can be kept in the fridge for 1 to 2 days, but the gnocchi will lose some of their crispness. It's best to store the gnocchi separately and add them to the salad as you serve yourself if you plan to eat it over several meals.
