Ingredients
Vegetables and Gnocchi
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound shelf-stable gnocchi
1 red onion, halved and sliced into wedges
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Toppings
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's hot and ready for roasting.
Prepare the Ingredients: In a large sheet pan, combine the gnocchi, halved Brussels sprouts (cut side down), and sliced red onion wedges. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Toss to Coat and Arrange: Toss all ingredients thoroughly so everything is evenly coated with oil and salt. Spread them out into a single even layer to ensure proper roasting.
Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning until the gnocchi is golden and crisp and the Brussels sprouts are tender and browned.
Add Toppings and Serve: Remove from the oven, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped toasted walnuts over the roasted gnocchi and vegetables. Adjust seasoning with additional salt as needed before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, make sure to spread the gnocchi and vegetables in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
To toast walnuts, dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
Feel free to substitute feta with goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
This dish can be served as a vegetarian main course or as a side dish.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet to maintain crispness.
