Air- Fryer Cinnamon Gnocchi Doughnuts
Golden, crispy, and dusted in sweet cinnamon sugar, these Air-Fryer Cinnamon Gnocchi Doughnuts are a fun and indulgent twist on traditional dessert. Using Otway Pasta Company’s pillowy gnocchi, this clever recipe transforms a savoury staple into bite-sized sweet treats—perfect for sharing (or not!).
Tossed in melted butter and spiced sugar, the gnocchi are air-fried until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, then finished with an extra coating of sugar for good measure. Served warm with a side of rich chocolate sauce for dipping, these sweet little doughnuts are an irresistible treat for afternoon tea, dessert, or anytime cravings strike. No deep fryer, no fuss—just pure, sugary delight.
