20 Ounce bag frozen Aldi Deutsche Küche cheese or garlic sage spaetzle
Cook on the air fry setting for 10 minutes at 350°F, pausing halfway through to stir the dumplings, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your favorite accompaniments
Notes
Note that Aldi spaetzle comes with the sauce frozen with it. You’ll want to place it in an oven safe dish (recommended), or line your air fryer with parchment or nonstick foil to prevent it from melting through the grates
While you could technically cook the noodles separately to avoid using a dish, they’ll dry out without the presence of the sauce I’ve found
My spaetzle was perfectly heated after 10 minutes in a Ninja air fryer and confirmed via thermometer. Other air fryers will vary slightly in terms of time needed
Store leftover spaetzle in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not refreeze once it has been cooked once
To reheat, air fry at 350°F for 3-5 minutes, heat in a pan on the stove with a little olive oil, or microwave for around 1 minute on high, until heated through
Exact nutritional values will vary based on chosen flavor of ingredients, any sauces or sides added, and actual quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
