Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh herbs (basil, parsley, thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Veggies: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to create a hot roasting environment that crisps the gnocchi. Wash and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and perfect blending with the gnocchi.
  2. Toss Gnocchi and Veggies with Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the potato gnocchi, chopped cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Gently toss everything together until each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
  3. Spread Mixture Evenly on Sheet Pan: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Spread the gnocchi and vegetable mixture in a single layer, ensuring that pieces are not overcrowded to allow for perfect crisping.
  4. Roast and Toss Halfway: Place the pan into the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Toss the mixture once halfway through roasting to promote even browning. Monitor closely towards the end so the gnocchi develops a crispy exterior while the vegetables become tender.
  5. Add Finishing Touches and Serve: If desired, immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot gnocchi so it melts slightly. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for added brightness.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality gnocchi for better crisping and a delicate texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid sogginess; give each piece room to roast properly.
  • Toss gnocchi gently to prevent breaking during mixing and roasting.
  • Adjust roasting time depending on the vegetables; remove faster-cooking veggies early as needed.
  • For extra crispiness, preheat the baking sheet for 5 minutes before adding ingredients.
