Sheet Pan Gnocchi and Veggies
Description
This recipe uses dry uncooked gnocchi nestled with summer vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, and fresh corn kernels. Tossed with olive oil, garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes, the mixture spreads on a sheet pan and roasts at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the vegetables are tender and tomatoes begin bursting, about 25 minutes. The gnocchi roasts to a lightly crisp exterior while remaining soft inside.
After roasting, tossing the dish with fresh herbs—such as dill, basil, oregano, cilantro, or leafy greens—brings brightness and contrast to the roasted components. An optional herb dressing enhances the dish further with a lemony, garlicky note and added moisture.
This sheet pan meal suits well as a light dinner or vegetarian side and highlights fresh summertime produce and easy preparation.
The herb dressing can be made by pulsing olive oil, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh or dried herbs together in a blender for a quick and flavorful drizzle.
