Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubes then boiled or roasted until fork tender (2 heaping cups)
1/4 cup coconut flour
3/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar
2 tablespoons vegan butter
1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar (for sauce)
1/4 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
4 sage leaves, chopped finely
Vegan parmesan cheese
Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the sweet potato by boiling or roasting until fork-tender, then let cool until you have about two heaping cups.
Add the cooked sweet potato, salt, and coconut palm sugar to a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add coconut flour and gluten-free flour, folding gently until a soft dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean work surface.
Divide the dough into 3 portions and roll each into a 1-inch thick rope.
Cut into 1-inch pieces and press lightly with a fork to shape.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook gnocchi for about 4 minutes until they float and become firm.
In a pan, heat vegan butter with coconut sugar, sage, and salt until slightly bubbling.
Drain gnocchi and add to the pan, sautéing for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned.
Serve warm, topped with vegan parmesan and black pepper.
Notes
If dough is too sticky, add a bit more gluten-free flour.
Do not overwork the dough to keep gnocchi light and soft.
You can substitute pumpkin or butternut squash for sweet potato.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
