Who this list is for
This list is for home cooks planning a vegan dinner for four people who want to make sweet potato gnocchi from scratch. If you’re looking for a dairy-free, egg-free meal with a homemade touch and a rich, herby olive oil sauce, this is for you. It’s best for those comfortable boiling, mashing, and shaping dough, and who have time to toast nuts and fry sage leaves.
How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for the essentials: orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, all-purpose flour, fine semolina flour, and nutritional yeast. You’ll need olive oil instead of butter for the sauce, plus fresh sage leaves and garlic. Toast hazelnuts for crunch, and finish with arugula and lemon. Gather ingredients before you begin, so you can prep the gnocchi dough, shape the dumplings, and cook them in batches. Use the list to shop or double-check what you already have.
Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t swap in regular potatoes—orange-fleshed sweet potatoes are key for color and sweetness. Avoid using margarine or coconut oil in the sauce; olive oil gives the right flavor. Skipping semolina flour can make the gnocchi gummy. Don’t forget to toast the hazelnuts and fry the sage leaves; both add texture and aroma. Pre-washed arugula saves time.
What is on this list
You’ll need two large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, all-purpose and fine semolina flour, nutritional yeast, fine salt, olive oil, fresh sage, garlic, a lemon, hazelnuts, arugula, and black pepper. Cross off anything you already own, like salt or olive oil. Check your flour supply—running out mid-recipe is a hassle.
Before you go
Before shopping, check your kitchen for leftover flour, nuts, or sage. Plan to buy fresh sweet potatoes and arugula close to the cook date for best quality. After the meal, store any extra gnocchi in an airtight container. Clean up by wiping down your counters and sweeping up stray flour. Leftover sage oil can be refrigerated for a few days.
