👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and toss the cubed potatoes and mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan.

- Combine the roasted veggies, potatoes, and cooked gnocchi in a large bowl; toss gently to mix.
- Serve warm, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Pile the bowl onto a rustic wooden board, drizzle a little extra‑virgin olive oil, and sprinkle fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color before serving.
- Serve alongside a crisp mixed green salad dressed with lemon‑tahini vinaigrette for a bright, refreshing contrast.
- Pair with a glass of chilled sparkling water infused with cucumber and mint, or a light, fruity white wine for a relaxed weeknight dinner.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Add a splash of smoked paprika or a pinch of chili flakes to the veggies before roasting for a smoky, spicy kick.
- Swap the gnocchi for whole‑grain or chickpea pasta if you need a gluten‑free or higher‑protein option.
- Stir in a handful of toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds just before serving for extra crunch and a boost of healthy fats.
- Turn leftovers into a hearty soup by adding vegetable broth, a dash of nutritional yeast, and a few extra greens; simmer until everything is heated through.
