Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounce uncooked potato gnocchi
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese for topping
  • fresh herbs sprinkle for serving

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Aluminum Foil
  • nonstick spray
  • mixing bowl or large bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick spray.
  2. Place the gnocchi, grape tomatoes, chopped red bell pepper, chopped orange bell pepper, and chopped red onion in a large bowl or directly on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and gnocchi. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper, then toss until everything is evenly coated and seasoned.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure the gnocchi are not crowded so they can brown.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring or turning once halfway through, until the tomatoes are blistered and the peppers and gnocchi are tender and lightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and transfer to plates. Sprinkle with freshly shaved Parmesan and a small sprinkle of fresh herbs, then serve immediately.
  7. For cauliflower gnocchi (e.g., Trader Joe's): do not thaw; remove any large ice pieces and roast 25–30 minutes—note the exterior may brown less than potato gnocchi.

Notes

  • Adapted slightly from The Kitchn.
  • Use a roomy baking sheet so ingredients roast rather than steam.
  • Check and remove any ice if using frozen cauliflower gnocchi.
  • Serve immediately for best texture.
