You roast the store-bought gnocchi right on the sheet pan, and it gets perfectly crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Tossed with sweet roasted vegetables, itโs a stupidly easy meal with basically no cleanup.
๐ What You Need (Ingredients)
- 1 package (16 oz) store-bought potato gnocchi: (No need to boil them, just use them straight out of the package!)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes: They burst in the oven and create a natural sauce.
- 1 bell pepper: Chopped (any color you like).
- ยฝ red onion: Chopped.
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil: To make everything crispy.
- Seasonings: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Optional but delicious: Grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil for topping.
๐ฉโ๐ณ How to Make It (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Prep the Pan Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Grab a large baking sheet (sheet pan) and line it with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup ever.
Step 2: Dump and Toss Dump the uncooked gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, and red onion directly onto the baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil.
Step 3: Season it Up Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the gnocchi and veggies. Toss everything together right on the pan until it’s all well coated in the oil and spices. Spread it out into a single, even layer.
Step 4: Roast to Perfection Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Toss halfway through. Youโll know itโs done when the tomatoes start to burst and the gnocchi are golden and crispy on the edges.
Step 5: Garnish and Devour Take it out of the oven, sprinkle immediately with grated Parmesan cheese so it melts, and top with fresh basil. Serve straight from the pan and enjoy your masterpiece!
