- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets,
- 1/2 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour,
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese,
- 1 large egg,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
Steam the cauliflower florets until they’re tender, about 5-7 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly before moving to the next step.
Using a food processor, blend the steamed cauliflower until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower puree, gluten-free flour, grated Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough on a gluten-free floured surface and cut into small bite-sized pieces. Use a fork to gently press down on each piece to create the traditional gnocchi indentations.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Your Gluten-Free Cauliflower Gnocchi is ready to be served. Toss with your favorite sauce, sprinkle some extra Parmesan on top, and enjoy!
