Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Sweet Potato Gnocchi is a delightful Paleo dish that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a light, fluffy texture. This Greek-inspired pasta is perfect for a comforting meal that is both healthy and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Sweet potatoes - 400 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh basil - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until tender.
3. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then peel and mash them in a bowl until smooth.
4. Add the almond flour, egg, salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until a dough forms.
5. On a floured surface (using almond flour), divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, about 2 cm in diameter.
6. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces to form the gnocchi. Optionally, use a fork to create ridges on each piece.
7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Using a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi and place them on a plate.
9. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy.
10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
