Air-fryer gnocchi tots

“These are the perfect snack, starter or side to bangers or roast chicken. For a different take on fish and chips, serve the tots with battered fish and tartare sauce.” - Clement Pedro

1. Place the gnocchi in a bowl, cover with just-boiled water and set aside for 10 minutes. Drain and allow to steam for a few minutes.

2. Coat the gnocchi with a few sprays of olive oil, then dust with the garlic powder and toss to ensure each piece is well oiled and seasoned.

3. Cook the gnocchi in an air-fryer at 180°C for 15 minutes, then give them a shake and cook for a further 5 minutes.

4. Place the crispy gnocchi in a serving bowl, season lightly with salt to taste and top with the Parmesan, allowing it to melt slightly. Serve with the Romesco sauce, at room temperature or warmed.

Cook's note: Air-fryers are famous for needing less oil than traditional cooking methods, but you do need some oil to get an even, golden colour. Use an olive oil spray to coat your food evenly.
