Vegan Crispy Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Ingredients
- 2 small/medium sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- olive oil for brushing
Preparation
Roasting sweet potatoes and scooping flesh makes sweeter gnocchi; boiling is faster for this recipe.
Peel and chop 2 small/medium sweet potatoes into about 1-inch pieces.
Add to saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to boil, reduce heat, and cook 15-20 minutes until just fork tender to avoid losing sweetness.
Drain and transfer to mixing bowl with 1/2 cup almond milk, mash until very smooth.
Add 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and mix well.
Gradually add 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, incorporate with hands until dough forms; add more flour if too sticky.
Let dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer dough to floured surface, cut into 4 equal parts, roll each into strands about 1/2-inch thick, cut into desired gnocchi-sized pieces.
Cook pieces in boiling water, remove with slotted spoon once they rise to surface.
Brush with a little olive oil and bake on lined sheet at 400F for about 15 minutes until crispy.
