I spread the ingredients into a single layer for even roasting.
I roast for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mushrooms are browned and the gnocchi is golden.

Variations

I sometimes add spinach or kale during the last few minutes of roasting for extra greens. When I want more protein, I mix in cooked sausage or shredded chicken. I also enjoy adding red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra depth of flavor. For a creamier finish, I occasionally stir in a spoonful of ricotta before serving.

storage/reheating

I store leftover gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm it in the oven or a skillet to help the gnocchi stay slightly crispy. I avoid microwaving for too long because the gnocchi can become too soft.

FAQs

Can I use frozen gnocchi?

I sometimes use frozen gnocchi directly from the freezer, and it still roasts beautifully on the sheet pan.

What types of mushrooms work best?

I like using a mix of cremini, shiitake, oyster, or button mushrooms for a variety of textures and flavors.

Do I need to boil the gnocchi first?

I do not boil the gnocchi because roasting it directly on the sheet pan helps create a crisp exterior.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

I simply leave out the Parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative to make the recipe vegan-friendly.

What can I serve with sheet pan gnocchi?

I usually pair it with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
