Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Portobello and Kale
Hey there! It’s Ilona from Ilona’s Passion. I am honored to be a contributor for Oh My! Creative blog. I’ll be presenting many delicious recipes in the upcoming months. For today I made sweet potato gnocchi with portobello burger, kale and avocado aioli.
Vegetarian sweet potato gnocchi with portobello and kale are perfect for meatless Mondays or any day of the week. Packed with all veggies like kale, portobello mushroom, sweet potato and avocado. Couple healthy ingredients and you can have yummy dinner in 40 minutes.
I love meatless dinners. I think they can be tasty as much as meat entrees. I cook sweet potato gnocchi at home often because they are so easy to make and require only 3 ingredients. Mixing only flour, sweet potato and egg. That’s so simple.
I thought that portobello mushroom burger will be perfect for this dish. Usually I just cook my mushroom, but this time I dipped in egg and bread crumbs before frying. This is the most delicious portobello I’ve had. I make mushrooms at my home a lot and they can be always found in my kitchen.
I also added some baby kale that I had in my fridge from the trip to the store. I thought that lettuce will be perfect too. But kale combined perfectly with everything. To make the meatless dinner even better I made avocado aioli and I drizzled everything just before serving.
