Roasted Gnocchi ~
This easy sheet pan gnocchi is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside with a satisfyingly chewy bite!
Serve as a side dish with Cauliflower Steak and Balsamic Green Bean Salad or toss in Homemade Basil Pesto for a quick weeknight dinner.
Oven Gnocchi Recipe
Can you bake gnocchi? Yes!
I like this recipe because gnocchi that has been roasted in the oven offers a crispy, chewy, and slightly more robust experience than boiled gnocchi. While boiled gnocchi is lighter and retains a more traditional texture, the slight caramelization that happens during baking gives roasted gnocchi a bit more complex flavor.
Ingredients for Roasted Gnocchi
You will need the following:
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Ingredient Notes
- Gnocchi – Fresh or boxed gnocchi can be used for this recipe. If you prefer a lighter and more delicate texture with a homemade touch, fresh gnocchi is a great option. For a heartier texture, boxed gnocchi is a perfectly fine choice. Traditional gnocchi is made with eggs and since my store didn’t have any vegan gnocchi available that day, I opted for a high-quality boxed gnocchi instead, and I was pleasantly surprised by the result. It turned out fantastic and I would definitely choose it again in a similar situation.
How to Make Roasted Gnocchi
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, toss gnocchi with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange the gnocchi in an even layer on a roasting sheet pan.
STEP THREE: Roast for 25 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
STEP FOUR: Adjust seasoning taste and serve hot.
