Today’s Unique Dish: Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter Sauce

Welcome to my kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter. This dish is perfect for a cozy fall evening or a special dinner with loved ones. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (400g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (113g)
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Kitchen Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • potato masher
  • mixing bowl
  • fork
  • skillet

Start by roasting the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a 400°F (200°C) oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and mash it with a potato masher. Add the flour, egg, and salt to the sweet potato mash, and mix until a dough forms.

On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Use a fork to create ridges on each gnocchi. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, then remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Add the sage leaves and cook for a few seconds until crispy. Toss the cooked gnocchi in the brown butter sauce until well coated. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving.

This dish serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 250g. One serving of this sweet potato gnocchi with sage brown butter sauce is around 400 calories.

Clever Tip:

To take this dish to the next level, try roasting the sweet potatoes with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg for a warm, cozy flavor that complements the sage and brown butter perfectly.

I hope you enjoy making and eating this sweet potato gnocchi with sage brown butter sauce as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
