Nutritional Benefits: Sweet potato is highly beneficial in Ayurveda. It is not only nutrient-dense but also satiating, supporting vital body functions including heart health. Often used as a tonic for the spleen, sweet potato helps balance Pitta and benefits Vata. A cup of steamed or baked sweet potato can provide up to 400% of the recommended daily vitamin A intake and about 50% of vitamin C, both crucial for a strong immune system during flu season. Additionally, it offers manganese for collagen production, along with potent antioxidants, minerals, and fiber to support digestive and heart health.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked white yam, skinned and mashed
  • 1 cup sweet potato, cooked and puréed
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coco butter
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh sage and thyme
  • 1/4 cup soaked cashew nuts, ground
  • 1 teaspoon whole white pepper, crushed

Instructions

1

Mix the sweet potato, white yam, rice flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands until the mixture forms a loose ball without kneading.

2

Add additional rice flour as needed, mixing very gently. The dough should be light, fluffy, and pliable—not sticky or overly firm.

3

Shape the dough into a large log on a floured work surface. Dab flour on both sides of your knife before cutting the log into equal pieces.

4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer and add a dash of olive oil to prevent sticking.

5

Using a metal spatula, gently transfer small batches of gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float. Remove them carefully with a slotted skimmer or spoon.

6

Heat coco butter (or regular butter) over medium-high heat until it stops frothing, then sauté the gnocchi in a single layer. Sprinkle half of the fresh sage and thyme over the pan and cook for another minute to ensure even cooking.

7

Arrange the cooked gnocchi on a plate, generously pour your preferred sauce over them, and serve immediately with a dusting of black pepper, truffle salt, and vegan parmesan.
