Air-Fried Gnocchi

Welcome back!

Today, we have an interesting take on a unique Italian dish: Gnocchi! We used our Breville Smart Oven Air again to air-fry these gnocchi, getting them to a wonderful consistency - crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Mixed with a simple herb and spice blend, making this recipe allows you to really appreciate the gnocchi's innate qualities.

Air-Fried Gnocchi

Ingredients:

1 package (1 pound) gnocchi
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon thyme (you could also substitute with other herbs/spices that you like)

Directions:

Coat the gnocchi with the olive oil in order for the seasoning to stick.
Season the gnocchi with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme.
Air-fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.

There are many ways you can enjoy this air-fried gnocchi. We actually like to eat these plain or with a little dipping sauce, such as marinara, as shown above. Otherwise, you could toss it with some fresh greens, tomatoes, and/or cheese, à la caprese. It would be a little less fitting to use a heavier sauce, as that would likely overpower the taste of the air-fried gnocchi.

Filipino Chicken Adobo

Welcome back! Today, we have a traditional Filipino dish: Chicken Adobo! Adobo is a very classic Filipino flavor involving vinegar, peppercorns, and bay leaves. It's used for many different types of meat; pork is another very common choice. The dish should not be confused with a Spanish variety of adobo, which has a similar concept but different ingredients - there's a heavier emphasis on spices like paprika and oregano. Filipino Chicken Adobo Ingredients: 2 pounds chicken drumsticks 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1/3 cup soy sauce 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns 3 bay leaves 2 tablespoon sugar Directions: Prepare the marinade by adding in all the ingredients except for the chicken. Mix this together. Put the chicken in and let it marinade for a few hours, preferably overnight so the flavor really soaks in. Take the chicken out. Keep the marinade! In an oiled pan, sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side (imagine that the drumsticks have two sides). Remov...
