Warning: Once you take a bite, you may never stop! These crunchy, little pillowy bites are absolute perfection and an excellent bite-sized appetizer to serve at any function. Gnocchi, a staple traditionally made from potato, flour, and egg, have been around since Roman times and are typically served tossed in a sauce or baked up in a casserole. But it’s the 21st century, so it’s time to switch it up.
The gnocchi are breaded in seasoned bread crumbs and Pecorino (which provides some sharpness), then fried, giving the soft and slightly chewy dumplings a crispy exterior. Serve with your favorite jarred marinara sauce for dipping or make our easy homemade marinara sauce.
Leftover gnocchi bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To keep them crispy, reheat in a 350° oven until warmed through.
