Description
A simple, one-pan meal featuring Italian sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and vegetables roasted together and finished with a balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable sweet potato gnocchi
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage, uncooked gnocchi, red bell pepper, and red onion.
- Drizzle the mixture with olive oil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the sausage and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and gently toss the ingredients.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the gnocchi are lightly browned and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire sheet pan mixture before serving.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan; use a large sheet pan so the ingredients roast instead of steam.
- For crispier gnocchi, ensure they are spread out and not touching too much.
- Shelf-stable gnocchi works best for this method as fresh gnocchi can become too soft.
