Sweet potato gnocchi with pesto is really something very fine. I’ve stressed before that I’m a big fan of orange vegetables and fruits in the fall and winter. Nature has certainly thought of something by providing us with these bright colors especially in the darker season. In addition to the mood-boosting effect, orange vegetables are also full of important vitamins such as provitamin A. Reason enough to stock up on sweet potatoes and pumpkin as soon as possible.
Vegan sweet potato gnocchi with pesto
Sweet potato gnocchi are not really quick to make, but you will need only 3 ingredients and that is a sweet potato, flour and salt. The sweet potato is cut into pieces and put in the oven with a little olive oil. There it may roast until soft. Then I put them in the blender together with flour and a little salt and process them into a uniform, compact dough. Portion, roll into a strand with your hands and cut into pieces. If you like, you can press a pattern into it with a fork. I’m saving myself the step, though.
TIP: Sweet potatoes do not produce solanine in their skins, unlike potatoes. Therefore, the shell can and should even be eaten. It contains a substance called Caiapo, which is very healthy and can help with diabetes and high cholesterol.

I opted for a pesto to mix in today. However, here you can choose from many delicious options. For example, a tomato sauce, sage butter, or a creamy spinach sauce would also be suitable.
