Ingredients (Serves 6-8)
½ large butternut squash (rich in beta-carotene & fiber)
1 large sweet potato (supports gut health & provides complex carbs)
2 cups cassava flour (grain-free & easy to digest)
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp minced garlic (immune-boosting & anti-inflammatory)
2 tbsp olive oil (healthy fats & heart-protective)
Fresh sage leaves (aromatic & aids digestion)
Instructions
Roast the Vegetables
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut butternut squash and sweet potato in half, drizzle with olive oil and salt, and place face-down on a lined baking sheet.
Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Blend & Remove Moisture
Scoop out the roasted squash and sweet potato, discard the skins, and place in a food processor with garlic and salt. Blend until smooth.
Transfer to a pot over medium heat and stir for 5-7 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Cool & Form the Dough
Allow the mixture to cool completely in the fridge.
In a bowl, mix in cassava flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Shape the Gnocchi
Divide dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a long, thin rope.
Cut into ½-inch pieces and lightly press with a fork to create ridges.
Cook & Sauté
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add gnocchi and boil until they float (about 2 minutes).
In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sage leaves until fragrant.
Toss the gnocchi in the sage-infused oil for a crispy, golden finish.
Serve & Enjoy!
Plate the gnocchi, garnish with extra crispy sage leaves, and savor a naturally sweet, comforting dish! Pair with grilled chicken and a side salad for added protein and fiber.
