5-Ingredient Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Delightful and easy-to-make sweet potato gnocchi that transforms humble ingredients into a comforting dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (500g) sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 oz (50g) chorizo (optional, casing removed and diced)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 sprig of rosemary, stem removed
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salt
  • Parmesan cheese, grated, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prick the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast for about 40-50 minutes, until tender.
  3. Once cool, peel off the skins and place the flesh in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta, parmesan, salt, and nutmeg, then mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time until the dough holds its shape.
  5. Lightly flour your countertop, divide the dough into 4 sections, and roll each into a rope about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and add gnocchi. They’re done when they float, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add garlic and rosemary. Sauté until fragrant.
  8. Combine cooked gnocchi into the skillet and gently toss to coat.

Notes

Serve with a sprinkle of extra grated parmesan and flaky salt. Great with crusty bread and a light salad.
