Purple Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Tahini Parsley Sauce: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 medium purple sweet potatoes
– 1 cup gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour)
– 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon nutmeg
– ¼ cup tahini
– ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: toasted pine nuts, extra parsley, chili flakes


Instructions

Creating Purple Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Tahini Parsley Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and chop the purple sweet potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Mash and Cool: Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them until smooth. Let them cool for about 10 minutes.
3. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead Gnocchi Dough: Gently knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, adding more flour if necessary.
5. Shape the Gnocchi: Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about ½ inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Use a fork to create grooves on each piece for better sauce adherence.
6. Cook Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
7. Make Tahini Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together tahini, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well blended.
8. Combine: In a pan over low heat, gently toss the cooked gnocchi with the tahini sauce until well coated.
9. Serve: Divide the gnocchi among plates, and top with optional toasted pine nuts, additional parsley, or chili flakes.
