Ingredients 

  • 18 oz (500 g) fresh grape and/or cherry tomatoes stems removed
  • 2 medium shallots thinly sliced
  • 10 cloves garlic peeled
  • ¾ teaspoon coarse sea salt or to taste (note: if using fine salt, start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.)
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root grated
  • 1 ½ teaspoon coconut sugar or (light) brown sugar
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme or to taste, stems removed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 18 oz (500 g) fresh potato gnocchi egg- and dairy-free
  • 1 small lemon, the juice 1 small lemon yields about 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 cup (25 g) fresh basil leaves, loosely packed or to taste
  • 5 tablespoons coconut cream full fat
  • 1 pinch chili flakes to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF/190ºC.
  • Prep the vegetables and condiments that need preparing: remove the stems from the tomatoes, peel the garlic cloves, peel and slice the shallots, grate the ginger, and remove the stems from the thyme (additionally chop the thyme if it's on the dryer side).
  • To a cast iron skillet (or other oven-proof dish), add the tomatoes, shallots, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, coconut sugar, grated ginger, thyme, and olive oil. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix until everything is coated in the olive oil and all condiments are well incorporated.
  • Place the skillet in oven (on a wire rack slightly above the middle of the oven) and roast for 35 minutes.
  • About 10 minutes before the roasted tomatoes are ready, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the fresh gnocchi and cook until they rise to the top (about 2-3 minutes), or according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Remove the Skillet from the oven (careful, it'll be extremely hot!) and add the gnocchi, coconut cream, lemon juice, and fresh basil leaves. Mix.
  • Add any additional toppings of your choice (such as chili flakes, or more cracked pepper), serve immediately in bowls and enjoy!
