Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 400g) Sweet potatoes
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 6 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-50 minutes, or until soft and fully cooked. Let the sweet potatoes cool until they're easy to handle.
Step 2
Peel the skins off the sweet potatoes and mash the flesh in a large bowl until smooth. Crumble the feta cheese into the mashed sweet potato and mix to combine.
Step 3
Add the flour, egg, salt, and black pepper to the sweet potato mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough to ensure the gnocchi stays light and tender.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 2 cm thick, then cut the rope into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cm each). If desired, press each piece lightly with a fork to create ridges.
Step 5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface. Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate.
Step 6
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until the butter begins to brown and the sage is crispy.
Step 7
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the brown butter sauce. Allow the gnocchi to crisp slightly in the butter for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the gnocchi immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
