Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to perfect the roasting of your tomatoes.
  2. Prepare your ingredients: remove stems from tomatoes, peel and slice garlic and shallots, and grate fresh ginger.
  3. In a cast-iron skillet, combine tomatoes, shallots, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne, coconut sugar, ginger, thyme, and olive oil. Mix well.
  4. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 35 minutes, monitoring until tomatoes burst and caramelize slightly.
  5. Boil salted water in a pot, add gnocchi, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they float. Drain and set aside.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven. Stir in the cooked gnocchi, coconut cream, and lemon juice, mixing gently.
  7. Spoon the mixture into bowls, garnish with chili flakes if desired, and serve immediately.
