If you don't want to eat gluten, this Paleo Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Kale is a tasty alternative. The sweet potato naturally makes the gnocchi sweet and creamy, and the kale adds a healthy dose of greens. For people on a gluten-free or Paleo diet, this dish is a healthy and filling option.
Ingredients: 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced. 1 cup almond flour. 1/4 cup coconut flour. 1/4 cup arrowroot flour. 1 egg, beaten. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/4 tsp black pepper. 2 cups kale, chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tbsp olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Optional: nutritional yeast for topping.
Instructions: Boil the diced sweet potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot flour, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a long rope on a lightly floured surface. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and saut for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped kale to the skillet and saut until wilted and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Return the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the kale, and saut for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Paleo Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Kale hot, and optionally sprinkle with nutritional yeast for added flavor. Enjoy your gluten-free and Paleo-friendly meal!
