Decadent Sweet Potato Gnocchi Recipe

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

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a cozy and comforting dish that’s perfect for the fall season. I love creating dishes that blend savory and sweet flavors, and this sweet potato gnocchi with brown butter sage sauce is no exception. The earthy sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with the nutty richness of the brown butter sauce, making it a truly decadent and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 500g)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (about 120g)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (about 115g)
• 10-12 fresh sage leaves
• Grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Kitchen Tools:

• potato masher
• baking sheet
• large pot
• skillet

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast them for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before mashing them with a potato masher in a large bowl.

Next, add the flour, beaten egg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix everything together until a dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes, about 1 inch thick. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces and use a fork to create ridges on each gnocchi.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set them aside.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook until the butter begins to brown and the sage leaves crisp up, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Serve the sweet potato gnocchi with the brown butter sage sauce drizzled on top. Finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

This recipe makes about 4 servings, with each serving weighing approximately 300g. One serving is roughly 400 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra special touch, try toasting the gnocchi in a separate skillet after boiling them. This will give them a crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and pillowy.

I hope you give this sweet potato gnocchi a try and enjoy every delicious bite. Remember, don’t be afraid to get creative and make this dish your own by adding your favorite ingredients or toppings. Happy cooking!
