BAKED GNOCCHI
This baked gnocchi one-pan dinner is simple, comforting, and full of flavor. The gnocchi are roasted with cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and basil, then finished with (vegan) cheese until golden. The gnocchi on top turn wonderfully crispy while the inside stays soft and tender. This dish serves 2-3 people.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 500 g gnocchi (store-bought, be sure to check that they are vegan) 18oz
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic finely diced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves save some for garnish
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- drizzle of olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- grated cheese of choice I used Violife
Instructions
- Add the gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and basil to an oven-proof dish or sheet pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything together until coated.
- Sprinkle with a handful of grated cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (355°F) for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the gnocchi are tender, the tomatoes are roasted, and the gnocchi on top become lightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven, mix gently, and top with more grated cheese.
- Place the dish back under the oven grill or broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese and create a golden, slightly crisp surface.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy!
