Ingredient Notes

Let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need for this recipe. Don’t worry; nothing here is too extraordinary. You probably have most of these items already!

• Gnocchi: The heart of this dish. These soft, pillowy pasta bites absorb flavors beautifully while providing a satisfying base. Fresh or frozen varieties work; just be sure to follow cooking instructions according to your package.
• Cherry Tomatoes: These miniature gems add a burst of sweetness and juiciness that elevates the dish. If you can’t find them, grape tomatoes or even larger varieties, cut into chunks, will work perfectly.
• Zucchini: This veggie is not just a filler; it provides a great texture that holds up well during roasting. If you want to switch it up, yellow squash can step in effortlessly.
• Feta Cheese: For that Mediterranean flair. If you are looking for a dairy-free version, try almond or cashew-based feta instead.

Here are a couple of quick substitution ideas:

• Replace gnocchi with your favorite pasta, adjusting cook times accordingly.
• Use olive oil sparingly; coconut oil or avocado oil can also do the trick if you prefer.

Ingredients

• 1 pound gnocchi
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Feta cheese, for topping (optional)
• Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Greek Sheet Pan Gnocchi

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Combine the gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion on a large baking sheet.
3. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
4. Spread the mixture out evenly on the pan, making sure there is space for the veggies to roast rather than steam.
5. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the gnocchi are golden.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh basil if desired.
7. Serve warm and enjoy your quick Mediterranean meal!

The roasting process transforms the vegetables, deepening their flavors and giving that perfect golden touch to the gnocchi, so don’t rush this step. Trust me; it’s worth the wait!

Tips for the Best Greek Sheet Pan Gnocchi

• Don’t overcrowd the pan. This traps steam and prevents browning. Make sure the gnocchi and veggies have space to create that amazing roasted flavor.
• Watch the color. You want golden gnocchi and tender veggies. Check them around the 20-minute mark; a little caramelization goes a long way.
• Use fresh herbs. A sprinkle of fresh basil over top right before serving really elevates the dish. If you have other herbs like thyme or parsley, they can be delightful as well.
• Try different veggies. Feel free to swap in other seasonal vegetables like asparagus or eggplant for fun variations.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat in the microwave or in a hot skillet with a splash of water to bring back that just-cooked texture. This dish does not do so well frozen due to the texture of the gnocchi, so aim to enjoy your delicious meal fresh.
