Next, I take a large baking sheet and arrange the sliced zucchini, diced bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and onion rings in an even layer. This step ensures that everything roasts evenly. Now comes the fun part! I drizzle two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the veggies. Then, I sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. I use my hands or a spatula to toss the vegetables until they are well coated. After that, I gently fold in the potato gnocchi, making sure they mix nicely with the veggies. I spread everything out in a single layer on the baking sheet for the best roasting. I place the baking sheet in the oven and let it roast for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, I give it a good stir to ensure even cooking. This way, the veggies get tender and caramelized while the gnocchi turn lightly golden. Once the roasting is done, I carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. I sprinkle the minced garlic over the hot mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This resting time lets the garlic flavor infuse without burning. When ready, I serve the dish hot, adding fresh basil leaves on top for color and flavor. If I want a rich taste, I finish with a drizzle of grated parmesan cheese. To achieve even cooking, spread the vegetables and gnocchi in a single layer. This helps the heat reach all parts of the dish. Stir the mixture halfway through roasting to ensure every piece gets that golden touch. Resting the dish for about five minutes is key. This allows the garlic to infuse its flavor without burning. It also helps the gnocchi and veggies settle, making each bite more delicious. For a nice presentation, serve the gnocchi and veggies in shallow bowls. This shows off the colorful mix. Add a few whole basil leaves on top. This gives an elegant touch to your plate. Pair this dish with a light salad or crusty bread. A fresh green salad balances the richness of the gnocchi. You could also serve it with roasted chicken or fish for a complete meal. Pro Tips Use Fresh Vegetables: 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: Ensure that your vegetables and gnocchi are spread out in a single layer. This allows for proper roasting and prevents sogginess. Mix in Some Heat: For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños to the vegetable mix before roasting. Experiment with Seasonings: While Italian seasoning is great, feel free to mix it up with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary, or even a sprinkle of smoked paprika for added depth. {{image_4}} You can switch out vegetables in this recipe. Try using asparagus or broccoli for a fresh twist. Both add great flavor and texture. Seasonal veggies also work well. In spring, use peas or radishes. In fall, consider squash or Brussels sprouts. Each choice brings new tastes to the dish. Herbs and spices can boost the taste of your meal. Try adding fresh thyme or rosemary for a fragrant kick. For a spicy touch, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes. You can also include proteins to make it heartier. Chicken or tofu blends nicely with the gnocchi and veggies.

This keeps them fresh and safe. You can store it in the fridge for up to three days. Make sure you label the container with the date. This helps you track how long it has been stored. For reheating, I recommend using an oven or a skillet. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the leftovers on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps the gnocchi and veggies crisp. If you use a skillet, add a splash of water to help steam the mixture. Cover it to maintain moisture. Reheat on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. This helps restore the texture and flavor. Enjoy your tasty leftovers! Yes, you can use frozen gnocchi. Frozen gnocchi saves time and works great.
