Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 0.75 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup potato starch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower florets to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Place the drained cauliflower in a food processor and blend until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower puree, gluten-free all-purpose flour, potato starch, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Lightly flour a flat surface with gluten-free flour and roll out the dough to form a long rope about 1 inch in diameter.
Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi. Optionally, press each gnocchi piece with the back of a fork to create ridges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi in small batches and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 3-4 minutes.
Season with ground black pepper and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or garnish.
