Crispy Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Tomatoes, Mushrooms, and Kale
Lia Soneson
Sheet pan gnocchi is a weeknight home run because it skips the boiling step usually required when making pasta dishes. Plus, as with classic sheet pan cooking, there are very few dishes that require clean-up! Roasting the gnocchi returns a slightly crispy exterior that pairs perfectly with warm, juicy cherry tomatoes, crunchy kale, hearty mushrooms, and sweet red onions. We love this simple, delicious dish -- you will, too!
