Sheet Pan Gnocchi
Description
This sheet pan recipe gathers potato gnocchi, broccolini cut into pieces, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion tossed with olive oil, garlic, and spices such as fresh thyme, Za’atar, and red pepper flakes. The seasoned mix is spread on a baking sheet and roasted at a high temperature to encourage browning and softening.
After the initial roasting, crumbled feta is added on top for a second longer bake, which allows the cheese to warm and brown slightly. The textures vary between the pillowy gnocchi, crisp-tender broccolini, juicy tomatoes, and soft onions, while seasoning layers add complexity without overpowering the ingredients.
Served warm and optionally garnished with fresh parsley, this dish is a convenient way to cook a balanced meal with minimal cleanup. It can function as a main or side dish depending on portion size and accompaniments.
Ingredients
- 1 pound potato gnocchi store-bought, we like Isola
- 1 broccolini ends trimmed, florets cut into big pieces and stems cut into ½-inch pieces, bunch

- ½ red onion thinly sliced, small
- 2 garlic sliced, cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon thyme fresh leaves
- ½ teaspoon Za’atar
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- black pepper freshly ground
- 6 ounces feta cheese torn into 1-inch chunks
- parsley for garnish, optional, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss together the gnocchi, broccolini, cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, thyme, za’atar, red pepper flakes, and several grinds of pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
