Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potato
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 10 fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender.
Step 3
Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then peel and mash them in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Add almond flour, tapioca flour, egg, salt, and pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 5
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead gently. Divide the dough into four portions.
Step 6
Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches, cooking until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Step 9
In a large skillet, melt ghee over medium heat. Add garlic and sage, cooking until the garlic is fragrant and the sage leaves are crispy, about 2 minutes.
Step 10
Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet, cooking until golden and crisp on the outside, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 11
Serve the fried gnocchi immediately, drizzled with the sage butter.
