Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Tapioca starch
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain any excess water and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 2
Once cooled, place the steamed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving the right dough consistency.
Step 3
Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor. Add almond flour, tapioca starch, egg, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 4
Process the mixture until a smooth, soft dough forms. The dough should be firm enough to handle but still slightly sticky.
Step 5
Dust your surface with a little tapioca starch. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, about 3/4 inch in diameter.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, cut the ropes into small gnocchi pieces, about 1 inch each.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the top, approximately 2-3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 8
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until golden brown on the outside, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately with your favorite Paleo-friendly sauce or toppings.
