The Caramelized Onions 🧅
For this French Onion Gnocchi recipe you’ll need 2 large sweet yellow onions. Peel the onion and cut the onion in half, and then thinly slice it.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a generous pinch of salt and cook the onions, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
Add the garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet with the onions and then add the dry white wine. Adding the wine will deglaze the pan and add some flavor to the onions. You can use whatever dry white wine you prefer, I used Chardonnay. Then you’ll add the tapioca flour, vegetable broth, vegan worcestershire sauce, and rice vinegar. Toss and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until thickened, then turn the heat down to low.
For this recipe, I bought pre-made gluten-free gnocchi. It cuts back on time to make this dinner recipe a near to 30-minute meal. But if you’d like to make your own gnocchi at home, you could use the recipe for my Cauliflower Gnocchi and pair it with the caramelized french onions in this recipe. That would be a great low carb option, and so delicious!
Cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes (or follow package directions). When they float to the top of the water they are cooked. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and add to the skillet with the onions. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, toss to coat the gnocchi well and serve.
I garnished this French Onion Gnocchi with gluten-free, grain-free toasted breadcrumbs and fresh thyme leaves. This is optional, but if you’re planning to do the same simply add the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon olive oil to a small bowl and toss to combine. Add the breadcrumbs to a small skillet over medium heat and toast the breadcrumbs until they start to turn golden brown, watching carefully to avoid burning. Place them back into the bowl and set aside until ready to use.
There’s nothing quite like a warm and comforting bowl of French Onion Gnocchi to soothe your soul. This recipe is easy to make and will transport you straight to the French countryside with its delicious aromas and flavors.
