Homemade Vegan Gnocchi with Sweet Potatoes and Chickpeas
This gnocchi is made from a blend of sweet potatoes and chickpea flour, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Boil or steam the sweet potato cubes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Gradually add chickpea flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, mixing until a dough forms.
- Shape the Gnocchi: On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
- Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Sauté: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Enjoy your Vegan Sweet Potato Chickpea Gnocchi hot.
