Veggie Sweet Potato Gnocchi

This Veggie Sweet Potato Gnocchi was BY FAR one of the most simple and flavorful meals I’ve made in a LONG time! It’s insanely easy and truly anyone could make it! It was made on one pan and truly anyone will love this meal. It’s dairy free, grain free, gluten free and absolutely AMAZE!

Veggie Sweet Potato Gnocchi Breakdown

You have your gnocchi, and you have your Cappello’s Sweet Potato Gnocchi. It’s truly unreal and would probably taste good with anything, but this was just truly to die! Here’s how we did it:

  • Gnocchi: As I mentioned, I used Cappello’s Sweet Potato Gnocchi for this recipe. Their products are so good and delicious. Instead of boiling the gnocchi, I opted to bake it to keep the texture and have less clean up – that’s always good, no?!
  • Sauce: A little goes a long way with this recipe, but I simply used ~2 -4 tbsp of a super clean 3 nut pesto. If you buy at the store, ensure that it’s made fresh and there are no added seed oils or cheese. You could also make my avocado pesto for it too!
  • Veggies: I did a combination of zucchini, bell pepper and onion for the veggies in this, but you could truly add whatever you desire! I also added some roasted red pepper at the end too!
  • Extras: The garlic cloves play a HUGE roll in adding a ton of flavor to this recipe, as well as the fresh basil – don’t skimp!! Note: You can sub the olive oil and spiced for this Chosen Foods Italian Herb Infused Avocado Oil Spray (still adding the garlic) if you want an even easier meal!
