Notes
When I want to change things up, I swap the olive oil for avocado oil. It gives the gnocchi a slightly richer flavor.
If I am using Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi, I skip the directions on the bag. They turn out much better when I follow this air fryer method instead.
I like to try different ways of cooking them, like pan-frying or baking, but the air fryer always gives me the crispiest texture.
I always play around with the spices too. This recipe is super flexible, so I toss in whatever seasonings I am in the mood for.
