Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Pot for boiling water
Slotted spoon
Large skillet

Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree 240g
2 cups almond flour 224g
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 50g
1 large egg
1 tablespoon coconut flour 7g
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped 2g
½ teaspoon garlic powder 1.5g
½ teaspoon salt 2g
Pinch of black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter 28g for sautéing

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond flour, grated Parmesan, egg, coconut flour, chopped sage, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until it forms a dough.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a parchment-lined surface, roll each portion into a long, thin log, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. Press each piece lightly with a fork to create the traditional gnocchi indentations.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. In batches, boil the gnocchi for 1-2 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the boiled gnocchi and sauté until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure your pumpkin puree is not too watery; excess moisture can make the dough sticky. If the dough is too wet, add a bit more almond or coconut flour. The gnocchi can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days before sautéing, making for a quick and easy meal prep. Enjoy the gnocchi on its own or pair it with a side of greens for a complete keto-friendly meal.
