Sweet Potato Gnocchi

I love sweet potatoes! They are such a versatile ingredient and are packed full with nutrients such as vitamin A, potassium, vitamin C and vitamin B6 and make a much better alternative to the humble spud. Because sweet potatoes contain high amounts of beta-carotene that transform Vitamin A into its active form, it is responsible for producing new skin cell and keeps skin firm and healthy.
And since beta-carotene is also an important antioxidant it will help with you wrinkles and keep you looking younger for longer. So if you want healthy looking glowing skin, eat more of this deliciously sweet vegetable!

Ingredients

serves 2

For the gnocchi:
2 medium sweet potatoes
150g gluten free flour
salt & pepper
olive oil

Other ingredients:
150g broad beans
3-4 sun died tomatoes
1 glove of garlic
fresh sage leaves

Garnish:
25g pine nuts

Directions

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into thick slices and add to a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 45 min until brown.
Mash the potatoes and let cool for a few minutes. Add the flour plus salt & pepper and form into dough. If the dough is too soft add some more of the flour until it becomes a good consistency and easy to manage. Form into small balls and press down on them with a small fork to flatten. Add some olive oil to a hot pan and gently fry gnocchi on both sides. Once the gnocchi are crispy add the broad beans and remaining ingredients and fry for another 5 minutes.  Garnish with roasted pine nuts and serve.
