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!
