Ingredients
- 400 grams Cauliflower florets
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
Step 2
Drain the cauliflower thoroughly and transfer to a food processor. Pulse until smooth to form a cauliflower mash.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower mash to a bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure the mash is dry.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower mash, flour, egg, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until it forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Step 5
Lightly dust a clean countertop or cutting board with flour. Divide the dough into four equal parts.
Step 6
Roll each piece into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes, then drain.
Step 8
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 9
Serve the cauliflower gnocchi hot with your favorite sauce or a simple drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
