Ingredients
- 500 grams vegan gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 10 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Directions
Step 1
Start by peeling the garlic cloves and slicing them thinly. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the vegan gnocchi in a single layer. Let them cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom side is golden brown.
Step 4
Flip the gnocchi and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until they are golden and crispy all over. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the vegan butter.
Step 6
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced garlic and fresh sage leaves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the sage just starts to crisp.
Step 7
Return the fried gnocchi to the skillet and toss them gently in the sage butter sauce. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes to heat the gnocchi through.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the gnocchi for a cheesy flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh sage leaves if desired.
