Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter

Homemade gnocchi made with roasted sweet potatoes, pan-seared in nutty sage brown butter, and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 ½ lbs)

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 6 fresh sage leaves

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan (or vegetarian substitute)

  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Roast sweet potatoes at 400°F until tender (about 40 minutes). Peel and mash until smooth.

  2. Mix mashed potato, egg, salt, and flour. Knead gently until dough forms. Divide into sections, roll into ropes, and cut into gnocchi pieces. Press with a fork to create ridges.

  3. Boil salted water. Add gnocchi in batches until they float (about 2–3 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat until golden and nutty. Add sage leaves and crisp them.

  5. Toss gnocchi in the sage brown butter. Plate with Parmesan and cracked pepper.
