Baked Cauliflower Gnocchi

I love gnocchi and cauliflower. So, I thought to combine the two. I started searching for the recipes and while I got inspired by some of them (http://www.reclaimingprovincial.com/2013/01/15/garlic-cauliflower-gnocchi-with-brussels-sprout-leaves-lemon-zest/) I did not find quite what I was looking for. It was time to COOK and try my luck! So I came up with this recipe which turned out pretty good! My goal was to find a recipe that uses close to none flour and more cauliflower, hence I decided to bake these instead of boiling them.

Ingredients:
1 medium cauliflower head (blanched and processed in a food processor until fine)
1/2-3/4 cup flour (whole wheat works just fine here)
2 eggs
3/4-1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt
white pepper
 
Mix everything up in a bowl to form a paste. Shape gnocchi (use more flour if you need). Place gnocchi on a pan lined with a parchment paper just in case and bake in a preheated oven(425F) for 20 minutes or so. Then flip the gnocchi over and bake another 20 minute or until they are golden in color.
Serve with you favorite sauce or a side dish.

Enjoy!
