Sheet Pan Gnocchi
Description
This recipe features gnocchi as the base, complemented by fresh zucchini sliced into half moons and halved grape tomatoes. Olive oil coats the ingredients along with minced garlic and Italian seasoning, providing herbal and savory flavor.
The mixture is spread on a baking sheet and baked at high heat, allowing the gnocchi to crisp slightly on the outside while softening inside, and the vegetables to roast and develop sweet caramelized notes. After baking, grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled over the pan and the dish is briefly broiled to melt the cheese and lightly char the tomatoes, adding complexity.
To finish, melted butter is drizzled over the dish for richness, and fresh minced parsley and basil are tossed through, adding fresh herbal notes and contrasting flavors.
This sheet pan meal is simple to prepare and offers a balanced dish combining tender gnocchi with roasted vegetables and layers of mild garlic and herb flavors, suitable as a main or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. gnocchi (shelf stable or refrigerated), uncooked
- 2 medium zucchini (14 oz), cut into half moons about 1/3-inch thick
- 2 cups grape tomatoes (1 pint)
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 tsp minced garlic (4 cloves)
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- salt and black pepper
- 1/2 cup (1.5 oz) finely shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
- 2 Tbsp minced parsley fresh
- 2 Tbsp minced basil fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add gnocchi, zucchini and tomatoes to baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil (I try to use about 2 Tbsp drizzled over gnocchi and 1 Tbsp for zucchini and tomatoes), sprinkle with garlic, Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss mixture then spread out evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with parmesan. Heat broiler, return to oven (in center of oven is fine) and broil briefly until cheese is melted and tomatoes are lightly charred, about 1 to 2 minutes (watch it closely!).
- Remove from oven, drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley and basil and toss.
