Sheet Pan Pesto Gnocchi
Sheet Pan Pesto Gnocchi features potato gnocchi roasted alongside grape tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion, all coated in basil pesto. Baking softens the vegetables and crisps the gnocchi edges, while a final drizzle of pesto and Parmesan cheese add richness and herbaceous flavor. Optional red pepper flakes and fresh basil leaves provide heat and freshness for serving.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi uncooked
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 1 zucchini chopped, small
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 bell pepper chopped, yellow
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- 1/2 cup basil pesto divided, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese for topping, freshly shaved
- crushed red pepper flakes optional
- basil leaves for garnish, optional, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Remove the gnocchi from the package and make sure none of the gnocchi are stuck together. Spread the gnocchi, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, and onions on the baking sheet. Pour 1/2 cup of the basil pesto over the gnocchi and vegetables. Toss until the gnocchi and vegetables are well coated in the pesto. Spread the gnocchi and vegetables in an even layer on the sheet pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing once half way through. The tomatoes should be soft and about ready to burst and the gnocchi should be soft and slightly crisp.
- Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of pesto. Garnish with Parmesan cheese. Divide the gnocchi onto plates or bowls and garnish with crushed red pepper flakes and basil leaves, if using.
- Serve immediately.
