Ingredient Quantity
Gnocchi (shelf stable or refrigerated, uncooked) 1 lb
Zucchini (cut into 1/3-inch thick half moons) 2 medium (14 oz)
Grape Tomatoes 2 cups (1 pint)
Olive Oil 3 tbsp
Garlic (minced) 4 tsp (4 cloves)

Parmesan Cheese (finely shredded) 1/2 cup (1.5 oz)
Butter (melted) 2 tbsp

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Spray an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Add gnocchi, zucchini and tomatoes to baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil (about 2 tbsp over gnocchi and 1 tbsp for zucchini and tomatoes), sprinkle with garlic, Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss mixture then spread out evenly.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with parmesan. Heat broiler, return to oven (in center of oven is fine) and broil briefly until cheese is melted and tomatoes are lightly charred, about 1 to 2 minutes (watch closely!).
