🛒 Ingredients
- store‑bought potato gnocchi

- fresh herbs (optional, such as basil or parsley)
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Toss the gnocchi and vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the pan and roast for 20‑25 minutes, turning once, until the gnocchi are golden and the veggies are tender.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and sprinkle fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy a crisp, plant‑based dinner in under 30 minutes.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Plate the gnocchi on a rustic wooden board, drizzle with a splash of lemon‑infused olive oil, and garnish with a handful of fresh basil for a bright, restaurant‑style finish.
- Serve alongside a simple arugula salad tossed in balsamic vinaigrette to add a peppery bite that balances the richness of the crisp gnocchi.
- Pair with a chilled glass of crisp white wine or a sparkling cucumber‑mint mocktail for a refreshing contrast to the warm, caramelized flavors.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan right after roasting for an extra umami boost that mimics the cheesy goodness you love.
- Swap the standard gnocchi for sweet‑potato or beet‑infused varieties to introduce subtle sweetness and a pop of color to the dish.
- Mix in a spoonful of sun‑dried tomato pesto or a dash of smoked paprika before baking to give the veggies a deeper, smoky flavor profile.
- For a heartier meal, toss in a cup of cooked chickpeas or lentils during the last five minutes of roasting for added protein and texture.
