This easy air fryer gnocchi meal produces tender, sweet and slightly charred peppers, and soft, pillowy gnocchi all tossed in a spicy, smoky sauce ready to be loaded up with all your favourite Mexican-inspired toppings. To make this recipe vegan, simply sub out the soured cream for a plant-based alternative.
Method
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chipotle paste, olive oil and the juice of one half of the lime to make a paste.
Toss the gnocchi, peppers, onion and a generous seasoning of salt in the mixture until everything is well coated. Tip into the air fryer.
Air-fry for 15–20 minutes at 200C, stirring every 5 minutes with a spatula to make sure none of the peppers are sticking to the bottom and everything cooks evenly.
Serve topped with the avocado, soured cream and tomato salsa. Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and serve alongside.
Recipe tips
This recipe was tested in a 3.2 litre/5½ pint basket air fryer. It will also work in a model fitted with a stirring paddle, and you won’t need to toss the veggies during cooking. It is also easily scaled up to suit larger air fryers.
