Are you a sweet potato or a regular potato person? I personally love sweet potatoes! You can make them savory, you can make them sweet – they are such a delicious add to meals! My favorite type of pasta is gnocchi but I donāt eat regular gnocchi too often because I generally avoid gluten. Iāve found cauliflower gnocchi to be a great substitute but I personally like making foods from scratch as often as possible in order to control what ingredients and how much of each ingredient are put into my food.
Iāve made this sweet potato gnocchi a few times now and it is great! Itās a lot easier to make than you would think. This recipe is gluten free – it uses cassava flour as the flour.
