Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium beets peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Prepare the Beets

  • Spread the chopped beets out in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
    3 medium beets
  • Roast the beets in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
  • Once the beets are roasted, transfer them to a food processor and puree until smooth.

Make Gnocchi

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the beet puree, flour, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.

  • Roll the dough out into a long rope, about 1 inch in diameter. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the crumbled feta cheese to the mixing bowl and gently toss the gnocchi until they are coated in the cheese.
