Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Parmesan cheese - 20 grams, grated
• Fresh basil - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Once steamed, transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
4. In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower until smooth.
5. Add almond flour, egg, salt, garlic powder, nutmeg, and grated Parmesan to the mashed cauliflower. Mix until a dough forms.
6. On a floured surface, divide the dough into four pieces and roll each piece into a long rope about 1 cm thick.
7. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces to form gnocchi.
8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and gently add the gnocchi. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
9. Using a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi and let them drain.
10. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden.
11. Serve with fresh basil on top and enjoy!
