The full embrace of Fall flavors continues!
When I saw this fresh sweet potato gnocchi in the grocery store, this entire dish immediately popped into my head.
It’s essentially like Thanksgiving in a bowl, combining all my favorite flavors of that day – sweet potato, cranberry, brussel sprouts and walnuts.
It’s a hearty dish that certainly fills you up and gives you some long-lasting energy! It’s also pretty customizable – you can sub the dried cranberries for fresh sliced apples (or just add them in!), you can use feta cheese instead of parmesan and roasted green beans rather than brussel sprouts. You can really make it whatever you want!
You can also choose to add some chicken apple sausage into the dish to get some additional protein or just serve this alongside some grilled chicken or pork!
I love a dish that’s filling and versatile while also being easy to pull together!
