Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Chickpea Gnocchi

  • 2 cups Mashed Sweet Potato (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
  • 2 1/4 cups Chickpea/Garbanzo Bean Flour adding more if mixture is too wet or to dust
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Garlic Herb Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Thyme chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Rosemary chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Sage chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Parmesan Cheese to top

Instructions
 

Sweet Potato Chickpea Gnocchi

  • If needed, prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes until the insides are fully cooked and tender 
  • Once potatoes have cooled, scoop out the insides and puree in a food processor until smooth
  • Pour the chickpea/garbanzo bean flour into a large mixing bowl. Mix in the pureed sweet potato and egg and stir with a large spoon or spatula until the ingredients are incorporated and mixed evenly throughout.
  • Let the dough mixture sit for at least 30 minutes for the chickpea flour to absorb.
  • After the 30 minutes, add more chickpea flour as needed (starting with 1/4 cup at a time) to keep the dough from sticking or if the mixture is too wet. It should be dry enough to be rolled into a log without sticking to hands or surface.
  • Once you have finished mixing the dough, use a dough scraper or knife to cut dough into four sections
  • Take one section and roll out into a long thin log, about one-inch thick
  • Using the dough scraper or knife, cut the log into one-inch pieces forming the gnocchi
  • Repeat with the rest of the dough or save in the freezer for later
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil
  • Once boiling, add a generous amount of salt and all of your gnocchi
  • Cook gnocchi for 6-7 minutes or until the gnocchi are cooked and tender
  • Strain the gnocchis and toss into the garlic herb sauce and enjoy!

Garlic Herb Sauce

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat
  • Add the olive oil and garlic and stir until garlic is fragrant
  • Add the chopped herbs and stir for one to two minutes
  • Finally, add the cooked sweet potato chickpea gnocchi to the pan and mix until all of the gnocchis are coated with the sauce
  • Top with salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese
  • Serve and enjoy!
