To whip up this decadent delight, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup honey

Remember that using fresh ingredients is key! The sweetness of the sweet potatoes is what makes this recipe a true delight.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), poke holes in sweet potatoes, and bake for 45 minutes until tender.
- Once cool, scoop and mash the sweet potatoes, then mix in flour, salt, and nutmeg to form a dough.
- On a floured surface, divide the dough, roll into ropes, cut into pieces, and create ridges with a fork.
- Boil salted water, add gnocchi, and cook until they float (2-3 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet, stir in honey, and simmer for 1 minute to make the sauce.
- Add gnocchi to the skillet, toss in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sage if desired.
