Vegan Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter Sage Sauce Recipe
To prepare this delectable dish, first boil 2 large sweet potatoes until tender. Then, mash them and mix with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough.
- Combining the aromatic blend of vegan cheese, roasted pumpkin, warm cinnamon, inviting pumpkin spice, subtle black pepper, and savory salt in a single bowl creates a harmonious medley of flavors and textures that’s sure to delight the senses. Mix well.
- Gently fold in half the flour into the mixture, using a spatula to tenderly combine the ingredients after a few gentle turns.
- Knead the dump mixture onto a clean, lightly floured countertop, or continue working within the bowl if preferred. Lightly dust the surface with any leftover flour.
- Smoothly incorporate the flour by gently kneading the mixture with your fingertips. Let’s get started! Don’t risk it – stop kneading once the dough feels smooth.
- Sprinkle a sufficient amount of flour evenly over a clean and dry work area. Divide dough into 4 parts. Wrapped tightly in wax paper, take this single part and compactly coil it around itself, forming a uniform cylinder with a diameter of precisely one inch. Cut gnocchi into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat by combining 1 tablespoon of vegan butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 3-4 gnocchi in a single layer on the pan, leaving a small gap between each piece to allow for even cooking and texture.
- Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side. The gnocchi are removed and placed on a large baking sheet, where they’re kept warm in the oven.
- Once you’ve completed cooking the gnocchi, remove any residual butter or oil from the pan and wipe it clean with a paper towel to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- With the pan heated to medium, introduce the remaining two tablespoons of vegan butter and the lone tablespoon of olive oil once it’s hot.
- As the dish reaches a simmer, introduce the fragrant freshness of sage. Allow the richly aromatic browned onions to simmer gently for approximately two minutes, yielding an intoxicating aroma without scorching or burning. What a delightful herb!
- Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan and whisk thoroughly. Allow the mixture to simmer gently at a low heat for approximately one minute, then carefully pour it over the cooked gnocchi.
- Topped with rich, velvety vegan Parmesan cheese and a delicate scattering of crispy, fragrant sage leaves for added depth and visual appeal.
