Ingredients

  • 500g potato gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they float, then drain thoroughly.
2
In a wide skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it begins to foam and turn a nutty golden-brown.
3
Add the cooked gnocchi directly into the brown butter, searing for 3-4 minutes without tossing to develop a crispy, golden crust.
4
While the gnocchi fries, whisk the miso paste and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth.
5
Lower the heat, pour the glaze over the gnocchi, and toss gently to coat every dumpling.
6
Drop in the fresh sage leaves and walnuts, cooking for one final minute until the leaves are crisp.
7
Season with a pinch of red pepper flakes and serve immediately while the glaze is sticky and hot.
