Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
As soon as your drop the gnocchi in the water, melt the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once it starts to bubble, add the sage leaves. Cook until crispy (about 1 minute) and remove with tongs.
Continue to let the butter brown - once you start to see some brown bits in the bottom of the pan, turn the heat down and add the garlic. Stir consistently for 1-2 minutes - you want the garlic to get crispy but not burn.
Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the gnocchi to plates and top with the crispy sage and vegan parmesan

Notes
When you brown butter it will melt, then it will bubble, then it will look like nothing is happening - this is when the magic happens. Slowly but surely brown bits will start to appear in the bottom of the pan. Be sure to watch the heat and stir as needed so you don't end up with burnt butter.
The garlic is meant to be crispy. Just be sure to keep an eye on it and turn down the heat if it is getting too dark.
