Description

This Crispy Gnocchi with Burrata, Pomegranate & Hot Honey recipe combines golden, crispy gnocchi with creamy burrata cheese, sweet and spicy honey drizzle, and fresh pomegranate arils for a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The dish is roasted to achieve a delightful crispness, then topped with fresh herbs for a beautiful, vibrant finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Gnocchi

  • 500 g shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 1 ball burrata cheese
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • ¼–½ tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Fresh thyme or basil leaves (optional garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the gnocchi.
  2. Season the Gnocchi: Toss the gnocchi with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated to ensure flavorful and crispy results.
  3. Roast the Gnocchi: Spread the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure all sides become golden and crispy.
  4. Prepare Hot Honey: While the gnocchi is roasting, gently warm the honey with chili flakes over low heat. Allow the flavors to infuse, creating a sweet and spicy drizzle.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Transfer the roasted gnocchi to a serving platter once golden and crispy.
  6. Add Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese over the warm gnocchi, allowing its creamy texture to complement the crispy gnocchi.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle pomegranate arils over the dish, providing a juicy burst of sweetness and color.
  8. Drizzle Hot Honey: Generously drizzle the infused hot honey over the gnocchi and toppings to enhance the flavor profile with a sweet and spicy kick.
  9. Finish & Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme or basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately while the gnocchi is warm, crispy, and creamy for the best experience.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the hot honey to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Use shelf-stable gnocchi for the best results as they crisp up better than fresh ones in the oven.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between crispy gnocchi and creamy burrata.
  • Fresh herbs such as thyme or basil add a lovely aromatic touch but are optional.
