Description
Sweet potato gnocchi with burrata and cherry tomatoes, a very simple dish that shines because of the simplicity of its ingredients. You can make it with any other sauce too, but we really enjoyed it like this.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Ingredients
Gnocchi
- 500 g Boiled Sweet Potato
- 150 g Flour (1 cup and 2 tbsp)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 40 g Parmegiano (You can add more if you like)
For the Dish
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 0.25 tsp Chili Flakes (More if it's only for adults)
- 300 g Cherry Tomatoes
- 200 g Burrata Cheese
- 1 Handful Basil Leaves
- 1 Pinch Salt
- 1 Pinch Pepper
Instructions
- Boil the sweet potatoes until soft and then peel and smash them until they’re fine. This ikea tool comes in very handy here.
- Add the salt, Parmegiano, and flour. Mix everything with your hands until they come together in a dough.
- Portion it into 4 pieces and roll each one with your hand into a thin log with some flour if needed. Cut them into 2 cm pieces and dust with a bit of flour. Set aside while you make the sauce.
- Slice the garlic thinly. Then in a large pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil and cook the garlic and chili flakes for 2 minutes then add the cherry tomatoes. While they cook, boil the gnocchi in a pot of hot water. Do this in 2 batches so you don’t overcrowd them pot. They cook very quickly, as soon as they float, scoop them out with a sieve and add them to the other pan. Add half a cup of the gnocchi water and mix well, adding salt and pepper to taste. The pepper really shines here, especially if it’s freshly cracked.
- Move the pan off the heat, add the burrata, the remaining tbsp of olive oil, and some basil leaves. Enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute the Parmegiano with 2 tbsp nutritional yeast for a vegan version.
You can substitute the Burrata Cheese with small Mozzarellas
