Notes
Notes:Storing and reheating: Store any leftover gnocchi in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The gnocchi starts to lose it's texture on the 2nd day. Helpful tips:When making sheet pan meals, it is best not to overcrowd the sheet pan. This will cause the food to steam and not roast which will give you a different end result. If you do not have a large sheet pan, make the gnocchi is 2 batches. The combination of vegetables that you could use is endless. Fresh vegetables such as yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, red onion, fresh garlic cloves, shiitakes, carrots and green beans would all be delicious. Top with parmesan cheese, pine nuts or fresh basil leaves.Add in your favorite proteins such as chickpeas, tofu or shrimp.A creamy pesto sauce would be amazing in this sheet pan gnocchi recipe.
