A quick and easy recipe featuring golden, crispy gnocchi paired with caramelized roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound store-bought potato gnocchi (e.g., DeLallo brand)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for gnocchi)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for vegetables)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence
  • Freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh basil or parsley (chopped), grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the gnocchi with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat each piece.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if using. Spread the vegetables evenly on one side of the pan.
  5. Spread the oiled gnocchi on the other half of the pan, ensuring they are not crowded.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, use tongs or a spatula to gently flip the gnocchi for even crispiness.
  7. Check that gnocchi are golden brown and crunchy on the outside and tender inside; vegetables should be tender and lightly caramelized.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley, sprinkle Parmesan if desired, and add red pepper flakes for heat.
  9. Serve immediately for best texture, optionally with a green salad or crusty bread.

Notes

Do not crowd the pan to ensure gnocchi crisp up properly. Flip gnocchi halfway through roasting for even browning. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. For gluten-free, use gluten-free gnocchi. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
