Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are very soft, about 10-12 minutes.
Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial to ensuring the gnocchi dough is not too wet.
Place the drained cauliflower into a food processor and pulse until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower puree with almond flour, Parmesan cheese, the egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
If the dough is too sticky, add more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you can handle it without sticking to your hands.
Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a log about 3/4 inch thick. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the gnocchi in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them until golden brown and crispy on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve the gnocchi hot, with your choice of sauce or simply with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
