Ingredients

Gnocchi and Vegetables

  • 1 pound store-bought potato gnocchi (we like Isola)
  • 1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed, florets cut into big pieces and stems cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced

Seasonings and Extras

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon za’atar
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 ounces feta cheese, torn into 1-inch chunks
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the potato gnocchi, broccolini pieces, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, garlic slices, olive oil, sea salt, fresh thyme leaves, za’atar, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to evenly coat all ingredients with the seasonings and oil.
  3. Initial Roast: Spread the mixed gnocchi and vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Place it in the oven and roast for 10 minutes to start cooking the vegetables and soften the gnocchi.
  4. Add Feta and Continue Roasting: After 10 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and stir the contents gently. Scatter the torn feta cheese chunks evenly over the gnocchi and vegetables. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender, and the vegetables and feta have a nice golden-brown color.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if using, adjust seasoning to taste with extra salt and pepper, and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful meal.
