Crispy Air Fryer Gnocchi with Browned Butter, Sage, and Toasted Pine Nuts
Cooking gnocchi in the air fryer gives you delicious little mouthfuls that are crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Ready in minutes, you just need to drizzle them with a buttery sauce and top them with toasted pine nuts and freshly grated parmesan cheese for a gourmet meal.
Ingredients
- 1 packet Diamond gnocchi 500g
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- Dot’s Canola Oil Cooking Spray
For the sauce
- 60 g FreshLife pine nuts
- 50 g butter
- 10-15 Superb Herb sage leaves
To serve
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 200 C. Spray the basket lightly with cooking oil.
- Combine the gnocchi with the oil, paprika, and salt in a bowl and mix to coat the gnocchi. Tip the gnocchi into the air fryer basket and spread out as much as possible. Try to avoid overlapping the gnocchi.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then turn the gnocchi over and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Divide the gnocchi over 4 bowls.
- To make the sauce: while the gnocchi is cooking, heat a small pan and dry toast the pine nuts until golden and toasty. Don't let them burn! Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Return the pan to the heat and add the butter. As it heats it will start to foam up - keep cooking, swirling the pan every so often, until the butter is a nutty brown colour. Add the sage leaves and cook for a few more seconds.
- Pour the browned butter over the cooked gnocchi, scatter the toasted pine nuts over each serving, and grate some parmesan over the top.
