Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are fork-tender, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a food processor and blend until a smooth puree is achieved. Make sure there are no chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower puree, almond flour, arrowroot powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky, but manageable.
Lightly dust a clean surface with arrowroot powder. Divide the dough into four portions.
Roll each portion into a long rope, approximately 3/4 inch in diameter.
Using a knife, cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Optional: To create ridges on the gnocchi, gently press each piece with a fork.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the gnocchi to the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve hot with your choice of Whole30 compliant sauce or garnish. Enjoy!
