Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) shelf-stable or fresh gnocchi
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine), drained
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Spread gnocchi and cherry tomatoes on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until gnocchi are golden and tomatoes are blistered.

- Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh or shelf-stable gnocchi—no need to boil beforehand.
- For extra protein, add cooked chicken or chickpeas before roasting.
