How to Prepare Gluten Free Sweet Potato Gnocchi With Homemade Sauce [Vegan, Gluten Free]
For the Sweet Potato Gnocchi:
-
Start by baking the sweet potato in the oven at 450°F for 40- 50 minutes (until soft). Poke little holes in the sweet potato with a fork before putting in the oven. Once done, let cool completely. Then remove the skins.
-
Measure out 1 cup of mashed sweet potato into a bowl and add the flour and spices. Thoroughly knead with your hands. The texture should feel like dough, you may need a little bit more flour if it is still quite wet (add 1/4 cup of flour at a time if necessary).
-
Dust a clean surface with brown rice flour and divide your dough into 4 pieces (as seen in the picture above).
-
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil on the stove. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
-
Roll out one-quarter of your dough at a time. Make a long snake-like shape with the dough- about 2 inches thick. Cut the dough into 2 cm pieces (width-wise). Coat the pieces lightly with flour and toss in the boiling pot of water.
-
Gnocchi is done when they float to the top. Remove the gnocchi from the pot using a spoon that has holes in it or a small mesh strainer. Place cooked gnocchi on a lined baking sheet. And continue the process of rolling out 1/4 of the dough (2 inches thick), and cut it into 2 cm pieces, toss them in the pot and then remove once they are floating on top.
-
Toss the cooked gnocchi in 1 teaspoon of oil and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. While the gnocchi is baking in the oven prepare your tomato sauce.
For the Tomato Sauce:
-
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and cherry tomatoes. Cook for ~8 minutes checking on the tomatoes periodically, making sure they don't burn. If the pan starts to dry up add a little bit of water at a time. The goal is to cook the tomatoes so that you can eventually press down on them with a fork and release their juices.
-
Once tomatoes are pressed down and the juices released from the skins, add the nutritional yeast, water, basil and the tomato mixture to a blender, and blend until smooth. Transfer back into the saucepan and simmer so the flavors combine nicely.
-
Remove your gnocchi from the oven and top with the tomato sauce.
