Paleo Yummy Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Since I love the bite-sized pillowy dumplings, I found a way to make them with sweet potatoes as the base rather than regular potatoes. The instructions for the gnocchi may seem long but they aren’t complicated. See it as an incredible way to spend some time on a Sunday afternoon with a rewarding treat at the end.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot powder, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes or until soft. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Peel the potatoes and place into a large bowl. Mash well. Add the flour, arrowroot powder, salt, baking soda, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
Whisk the egg white until frothy. Gently fold it into the sweet potato mixture. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Dust a work surface with arrowroot powder. Roll out a handful of the chilled dough into a long thin rope. Cut into 1-inch segments. Use a fork to barely flatten each segment.
Prepare a large pot of barely boiling water. Working in small batches, drop each bit of gnocchi into the water. Let cook for about one minute. When they float to the top, remove with a slotted spoon. Place into a colander to drain.
Melt the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the gnocchi on all sides to brown. Serve instantly.
