Introduction
Looking for a cozy and gluten-free dish to enjoy this autumn? Look no further than sweet potato gnocchi! This comforting and satisfying meal is perfect for cooler weather, and the best part is that it's easy to make at home.

Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
-
Start by roasting the sweet potatoes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the sweet potatoes until they are soft, about 45-50 minutes.
-
Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly, then peel off the skin and mash them in a bowl. Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and mix well.
-
Gradually add the gluten-free flour to the sweet potato mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the gnocchi tough.
-
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a long rope. Cut the rope into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi shapes.
-
To cook the gnocchi, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Remove the gnocchi from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with your favorite sauce, whether it's a simple garlic butter or a creamy Alfredo.
-
Serve the sweet potato gnocchi warm, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Tips
- Make sure to use a gluten-free flour blend that is suitable for baking to ensure the gnocchi holds together well.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, a little at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
- You can freeze any leftover gnocchi by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freezing until firm before transferring to a freezer-safe bag.
Get ready to indulge in this gluten-free autumn comfort dish that will warm your soul and satisfy your cravings. Sweet potato gnocchi is a delicious and hearty meal that will become a favorite in your fall recipe repertoire.
