Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi uncooked
  • 12 ounces Italian sausage sliced (mild or spicy)
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 –2 cups fresh greens spinach, arugula, or kale
  • Extra veggies of choice: carrots cauliflower, or cabbage work great

Equipment

  • 1 large sheet pan
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Mixing bowl (optional, or mix right on the pan)
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prep the ingredients: Slice the sausage, dice the onion and peppers, and keep the gnocchi ready.
  3. Toss everything together: On a large sheet pan, combine gnocchi, sausage, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, fennel seeds, salt, and black pepper. Toss well so everything is coated.
  4. Spread evenly: Spread in a single layer to help everything crisp up.
  5. Bake: Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until gnocchi is golden and sausage is cooked through.
  6. Add greens: Once out of the oven, toss in fresh spinach or arugula so they wilt slightly.
  7. Serve warm: Plate it up straight from the sheet pan for an easy dinner.
