Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and roast them in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until fork-tender. Let them cool and then peel off the skins.

Make the Gnocchi Dough
In a large bowl, mash the roasted sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the egg, salt, and gradually incorporate the flour until a dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky. You may need to adjust the flour based on the moisture of your sweet potatoes.

Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1-inch thick. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to make indentations on each piece for a classic gnocchi shape.

Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms and Kale
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the hen of the woods mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften. Add the kale and continue to cook until the kale is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with pepper.

Combine Gnocchi with Vegetables
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the mushrooms and kale. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir gently to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
