    I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I first saw that Trader Joe’s was selling gnocchi made out of cauliflower, however now that I’ve tried it out for myself I’m loving it! It’s a great healthy and quick-cooking dinner option. Check out my recipe below for cauliflower gnocchi with corn, tomatoes, and basil!

    Don’t forget the Basil Vinaigrette!

    What is cauliflower gnocchi?

    Cauliflower gnocchi is a Trader Joe’s product. You can find it in the frozen food section. It’s gluten-free, vegan, gnocchi made out of cauliflower, cassava flour, and potato starch.

    How to get crispy, not soggy, cauliflower gnocchi:

    The trick with cauliflower gnocchi is to cook them from frozen and let them get crispy and golden brown in a hot pan with olive oil. If you cook them any other way they end up soggy. Whatever you do, do not boil or microwave them!
