Crispy Gnocchi with Garlic Mushrooms
Hi my dears, today I want to share a simple and delicious recipe for Crispy Roasted Vegan Gnocchi (potato dumplings) that is definitely one of my absolute favorite dishes. I make this easy recipe so often and it never gets boring.
For any reason, some people think Gnocchi are noodles, but actually, they are small potato dumplings. They’re just made of potatoes and a little bit of flour plus starch that helps the potato dumplings don’t fall apart. The classic Gnocchi recipe contains also eggs but if you make my recipe for Homemade Vegan Gnocchi, there are no eggs required! You can easily prepare your own and even vegan Gnocchi which taste as delicious as the regular classic potato dumplings.

Homemade Vegan Gnocchi from Scratch
I definitely prefer to make these potato dumplings from scratch, since they taste much better in my opinion when they’re homemade. Also, I know which ingredients they contain because I can choose them. It’s also possible to make this Vegan Gnocchi gluten-free. Instead of all-purpose flour, you can substitute a gluten-free flour blend.

I usually prepare more of this delicious potato dumplings and then freeze them in batches, so that I always have some on hand when I want to serve a quick and easy dinner or lunch.
Easy Gnocchi Stir-fry
I like Vegan Gnocchi best when they’re crispy pan-fried with mushrooms, garlic, and pine nuts. Also, my beloved basil pesto is a perfect addition to this easy recipe. If you want to serve this dish with other vegetables, you can head over my recipe for my Vegan Gnocchi vegetable stir-fry.
However, these potato dumplings taste also very good when they’re just cooked. You can serve them with a delicious juicy tomato sauce (such as this creamy “cashew tomato sauce“) or my beloved Vegan Mac and Cheese sauce. It’s really a dish to die for and so easy to make!

Not a great recipe. I should have known when the author mixed up roasting and frying. No indication of temperatures or anything. I ended up with a gnocchi mush with most sticking to the bottom of the pan. (Non stick would have been a help but no mention in the recipe.
Was also quite dry with no sauce to speak of. Would look further for other recipes.
I’m sorry you wasn’t happy with the result. I recommend using a non-stick pan and cook them over medium-high heat. You can also serve them with vegan cheese sauce or tomato sauce if the pesto is too dry for your taste.
Are you roasting as in the oven or pan frying? These are 2 different cooking methods.
Pan frying 🙂
