You can choose between store-bought or homemade gnocchi. Store-bought gnocchi is quick and easy, perfect for busy nights. If you have time, homemade gnocchi offers a fresh taste. Either way, you will need 1 pound of gnocchi for this dish. Using fresh vegetables adds flavor and color. I like to use: - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved - 1 zucchini, diced - 1 bell pepper (any color), diced - 1 cup broccoli florets These veggies not only taste great but also bring nutrients to your meal. Feel free to mix in your favorites or whatever you have at home! The right seasonings make all the difference. For this recipe, you will need: - 4 cloves garlic, minced - ¼ cup olive oil - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) The garlic gives a nice punch, while the Parmesan adds a rich, cheesy flavor. Season to your liking with salt and pepper. Fresh parsley adds a touch of color and brightens the dish. {{ingredient_image_1}} First, you need to preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This helps cook the gnocchi and veggies evenly. While the oven warms up, gather your ingredients. You will need 1 pound of gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure to wash the veggies well. Dice the zucchini and bell pepper into small pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and separate the broccoli florets. Now, take a large mixing bowl. Add the gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, diced zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli florets. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour this olive oil mix over the gnocchi and veggies. Toss everything until each piece is coated well. This adds flavor to each bite. Next, spread the coated mixture on a large baking sheet in a single layer. This helps everything cook evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Be sure to stir halfway through to avoid burning. After 20 minutes, take the pan out and sprinkle ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top. Return it to the oven for an extra 5 minutes. Wait until the cheese melts and turns golden. Once done, let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving. This dish is great warm and looks lovely with chopped parsley on top. To get gnocchi that is golden and crispy, follow these steps. First, make sure your oven is hot. Preheat it to 425°F (220°C). This heat helps the gnocchi crisp up nicely. Second, spread out the gnocchi and veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet. If they are too close, they will steam instead of crisping. Stir them halfway through cooking for even browning. Lastly, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top just before the end. This makes a tasty, golden crust. The choice of veggies can make or break this dish. I love using colorful vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli. They add nice flavors and textures. Cherry tomatoes bring a sweet burst when roasted. You can also try asparagus or carrots. Just make sure to cut them into similar sizes. This way, they cook evenly. Fresh veggies give the dish a vibrant look and a health boost. Timing is key for a great meal. Bake the gnocchi and veggies for around 20 minutes. Stir halfway to ensure they cook evenly. After that, add the cheese for about 5 more minutes. This makes everything warm and gooey. Serve it right away for the best taste. Top with fresh parsley for color. You can pair this dish with a light salad or crusty bread. Enjoy the flavors and the easy cleanup! Pro Tips Use Fresh Veggies: Fresh vegetables not only enhance the flavor but also add vibrant colors to your dish. Choose seasonal produce for the best taste. Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Spreading out the gnocchi and veggies ensures even cooking and crispiness. If needed, use two pans. Experiment with Cheese: While Parmesan is delicious, try mixing in other cheeses like mozzarella or feta for different flavors and textures. Add a Kick: For a spicy twist, include red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce in the olive oil mixture before tossing. {{image_2}} You can make this dish heartier by adding protein. Chicken, shrimp, or tofu work well here. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season it. Toss it in with the gnocchi and veggies. For shrimp, just add them halfway through baking. They cook fast and stay juicy. If you prefer tofu, cube it and roast along with the other ingredients. You get a tasty meal that fills you up! Feel free to play with seasonings to suit your taste. Try adding paprika for some heat or cumin for a warm flavor. You can also switch up the herbs. Instead of Italian seasoning, use basil or oregano. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary bring a nice touch, too. A squeeze of lemon juice adds brightness. Experimenting makes cooking fun and unique. While Parmesan cheese is delicious, you can mix it up. Try mozzarella for a gooey texture. Feta cheese brings a tangy kick that pairs nicely with the veggies. If you want a dairy-free option, use nutritional yeast. It gives a cheesy flavor without the milk. Whatever cheese you choose, sprinkle it on before the last bake. Enjoy discovering new flavors in this simple dish! To store your leftover gnocchi and veggies, let them cool first. Place them in an airtight container. It helps keep them fresh. Store in the fridge for up to four days. If you want to keep them longer, freezing is a great option. When you are ready to eat your leftovers, you can reheat them. The best way is to use the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the gnocchi and veggies on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps them crispy. You can also use a microwave for quick heating. Just cover them and heat in short bursts. Freezing is easy and saves time. To freeze, place cooled gnocchi and veggies in a freezer-safe bag. Squeeze out air before sealing it. You can store them for up to three months. When you want to eat them, thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, reheat as mentioned above. This way, you’ll have a tasty meal ready when you need it! Yes, you can use homemade gnocchi. Fresh gnocchi adds a nice touch. If you make it right, it can taste even better than store-bought. Just ensure it is cooked before mixing it with the veggies.
