Sweetpotato Gnocchi Salad

October 25, 2014 by Juli 9 Comments

Gnocchi, Gnocchi everywhere.

I was craving Gnocchi like crazy for a long time now. But I couldn’t bring myself to buy them. The ones that taste good cost a fortune and the servings are so small that you are never sated. So why not make them from scratch? Good question! After googling some recipes I was surprised how easy it seemed to be. Of course I aimed for a Paleo friendly version and changed a few ingredients. The first time they turned out perfect! I didn’t write down the measurements.

Second time, all prepared for taking notes and pictures of the Gnocchi later I failed miserably. It wasn’t just not pretty but not edible!

Third time I tweaked the measurements a bit and again: wonderful! Better than the first version actually.

Sweetpotato Gnocchi Salad

Author: Juli

Ingredients

Ingredients for Gnocchi

  • 1 large Sweetpotato
  • 1/2 coconut flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp tandori masala
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 3 tsp curry powder

Ingredients for the Salad

  • 1 large bell pepper
  • 1 zucchini
  • 250 g cocktail tomatoes
  • 300 ml tomato sauce
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp sambal

Instructions

  • Cook, bake or microwave the sweetpotato until soft
  • Give it to a food processor and blend, now add the coconut flour and spices and blend again - if you don't have a food processor you can also just use a fork to mix everything together
  • Give the dough into a bowl, add the egg and knead with your hands until well incorporated
  • Now form the Gnocchi out of the dough - it's easier if you form a large roll and cut it into little pieces, roll them with your hands until they look like small eggs
  • Place the Gnocchi carefully on a baking tray and bake in a fan oven at 180°C for approximately 10-12 minutes
  • Melt some coconut oil in a frying pan and add the gnocchi - fry until lightly brown
  • In the meantime give all the veggies on a baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes
  • Give the veggies in the pan, now add the tomato sauce and spices and stir well. Let it cook for a few minutes and enjoy warm

Making Gnocchi from scratch might sound a bit intimidating but it’s actually really easy. They are very yummy  – still a bit creamy in the core and crunchy from the outside. As a plus they are Paleo and gluten-free.

    Yum this looks absolutely delicious and so simple to put together. I’ve made my own pasta before but never my own gnocchi and you’ve made me intrigued to try it.

    Thank you for your warm welcome back by the way. I’ve missed reading your updates and posts and I hope you’ve been keeping well 🙂

      I tried to make my own pasta once but I failed miserably.
      I have been keeping well and I am looking forward to catch up on the things that happen in your life lately 🙂

    I need to give gnocchi another try – I made it one years ago and it didn’t turn out. I think I handled it too much. This looks awesome!

      That’s a common problem with potato gnocchi. You can’t process it the way you handle dough because they will just “run away” then 😉 Sweetpotato is more forgiving. Trust me, they are easy when you follow these measurements!

    Oh you talented goose. This looks epic, and I would totally make it even though I’m not a sweet potato fan.
