“This is my favourite way to flavour the cheesy keto gnocchi recipe in Lazy Keto Kitchen, (page 112) – which is available worldwide. Its simply fresh thyme leaves and finely grated lemon zest scattered over. These two ingredients complement each other beautifully so you could tuck in as is, or serve it alongside chicken or fish. The macros for this recipe are based on it serving two people, but it could be stretched to serve 4 as a light meal or small side dish (the gnocchi itself is very rich). ” – Monya

Instead of using traditional flour, my recipe cleverly utilises a combination of low-carb ingredients to craft pillowy gnocchi. Once cooked and tender, it’s time to elevate its taste profile.
With the zest of a lemon, the dish receives a vibrant and tangy twist. The lemon zest infuses the gnocchi with a refreshing citrus essence, providing a perfect balance. As you savour each bite, the zesty undertones awaken the palate and add a zing to the dish.
Fresh thyme leaves are the final touch that amplifies the flavour profile of this keto gnocchi recipe. The aromatic herbs bring a delightful earthy note, enhancing the overall taste experience creating a harmonious blend with the lemon zest. Indulge in this lovely creation and let your taste buds rejoice in the tantalizing symphony of flavours.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making dietary changes. Scroll to see the full macros and allergens for this Keto Gnocchi dish.
