Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Vegetables
Heat a splash of oil or vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add chopped kale and sliced baby bella mushrooms. Stir well and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and the mushrooms are tender.
Step 2: Add the Broth and Seasonings
Pour in the water or vegetable broth.
Stir in ground sage, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 3: Cook the Gnocchi
Add the gnocchi directly to the pot with the vegetables and broth.
Stir gently and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender and floats to the surface.
Step 4: Add the Sweet Potato Croutons
Add Roots Farm Fresh Sweet Potato Croutons to the pot.
Stir gently and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sweet potato croutons soften slightly and blend into the gnocchi mixture.
Step 5: Finish with Parmesan
Sprinkle vegan or regular parmesan cheese over the gnocchi.
Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the sweet potato gnocchi into bowls.
Top with extra parmesan, fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, or cracked black pepper if desired. Serve warm.
