Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound of gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken sausage, sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnishing)
Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for garnishing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix the gnocchi, sliced chicken sausage, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, olive oil, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
The dish is ready when the gnocchi is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese (if using) over the top.
