Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 Fresh sage leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond flour, tapioca flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Sprinkle a flat surface with extra tapioca flour. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope about 3/4-inch thick.
Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. If desired, use a fork to gently press down on each piece to create ridges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Working in batches, add gnocchi to the boiling water. Cook until they float to the top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook until they are crispy, about 1 minute. Remove sage leaves and set aside.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
Season with black pepper and additional salt if desired. Garnish with crispy sage leaves and serve immediately.
