Ingredients
Gnocchi and Vegetables
- 1 lb (450 g) shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Seasonings and Garnish
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the gnocchi and vegetables.
- Prepare Ingredients: On a large sheet pan, combine the gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, chopped zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and minced garlic.
- Season: Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Arrange: Spread the coated ingredients into a single layer on the sheet pan to promote even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast: Place the pan in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the gnocchi are golden brown and the vegetables have softened.
- Add Cheese: During the last 3–5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top to melt and add savory flavor.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped basil, and serve warm for a delicious, easy dinner.
Notes
- Shelf-stable gnocchi does not require boiling before roasting.
- To ensure the gnocchi crisp nicely, avoid overcrowding the sheet pan.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, or asparagus for added variety.
