Get to the Point Execution
Empty 16 oz shelf-stable potato gnocchi straight from the package (NO BOILING) into a large bowl.
Add chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and sliced zucchini with 3 tbsp olive oil, garlic, and Italian herbs.
Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Roast at 425°F for 20-22 minutes until gnocchi are puffed and golden with crispy edges.
Step-by-Step Guided Instructions
Open a 16-oz package of shelf-stable or vacuum-packed potato gnocchi. Dump straight into a large bowl without boiling or pre-cooking in water.
Boiling gnocchi makes them soft; roasting dry gnocchi with olive oil creates a delightfully crispy dumpling skin with a pillowy center.
Add 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 2 chopped bell peppers, and 1 sliced zucchini to the bowl. Drizzle with 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Cherry tomatoes burst in the oven, creating a sweet natural roasted pan sauce.
Spread the mixture onto a large rimmed sheet pan in a single flat layer, ensuring gnocchi touch the hot metal surface directly.
If ingredients overlap heavily, use two pans so the veggies roast rather than steam.
Roast at 425°F for 20 to 22 minutes, tossing once at 12 minutes. Remove when gnocchi are golden brown and blistered. Toss immediately with 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves.
The grated parmesan melts over the hot gnocchi within seconds of leaving the oven.
Add sliced precooked Italian chicken sausage to the pan for an easy high-protein dinner.
Serve crispy gnocchi with a small bowl of warm marinara sauce for dipping like mozzarella sticks.
