Ingredients
- 150 grams Fresh spinach
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain the spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
Finely chop the drained spinach and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Crack the egg into the bowl, then add salt and black pepper. Continue mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Step 5
Lightly flour a clean surface with a small amount of almond flour. Divide the dough into four sections.
Step 6
Roll each section into a thin log, approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. Slice the logs into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi.
Step 7
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the gnocchi in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Step 8
Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite keto-friendly sauce, such as marinara, Alfredo, or browned butter and sage.
