Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams vegan gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 10 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
Start by peeling the garlic cloves and slicing them thinly. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the vegan gnocchi in a single layer. Let them cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom side is golden brown.
Flip the gnocchi and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until they are golden and crispy all over. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the vegan butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced garlic and fresh sage leaves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the sage just starts to crisp.
Return the fried gnocchi to the skillet and toss them gently in the sage butter sauce. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes to heat the gnocchi through.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the gnocchi for a cheesy flavor.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh sage leaves if desired.
