Ingredients
Scale
Cauliflower Gnocchi:
- 1 medium head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into florets
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour), plus more as needed
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Steam the Cauliflower: Steam cauliflower florets until very tender, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Prepare the Dough: Process cauliflower into a smooth purée, mix with flour, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper to form a dough.
- Shape the Gnocchi: Roll dough into ropes, cut into pieces, and shape with a fork for texture.
- Cook the Gnocchi: Boil gnocchi until they float, then drain and serve with sauce or pan-sear for crispiness.
Notes
- For convenience, freeze uncooked gnocchi in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen — no need to thaw!
