Roasted Gnocchi and Vegetables

Jump to Recipe
I have another incredibly easy side dish for you today! Have you ever had gnocchi? For years I thought these little gems were pasta, but they’re actually a dumpling made from potatoes. They are served all kinds of ways but traditionally with a sauce. Now, I’m not the biggest fan of dumplings. If you share those similar feelings, you’ll be just as surprised as I was, how delicious gnocchi can be. They are not gloopy or mushy but rather pillowy on the inside with a slight chewiness. I particularly love the texture when roasting them. They get a little crisp on the outside and stay soft on the inside. That is exactly what this recipe offers. Juicy cherry tomatoes, onions, peppers and herbs, all mixed together with the crispy gnocchi for a home run side dish. Go the extra mile and sprinkle over fresh parm and a drizzle of Nonna Pia’s balsamic glaze.š¤¤ Bonus!! Make this sheet-pan recipe a meal by adding Italian chicken sausage. Oh my….you can’t go wrong either way.
