20 Minutes Sheet Pan Gnocchi

Imagine coming home from work and all you have to do is tear open a bag of gnocchi and veggies to make a carb happy dinner quickly! This is my kind of busy day satisfaction without doing lots of dishes. I crack during the day (Chiropractor) and chop at night! So I make sure to test all my recipes after so they are easy for all my fellow home cooks. This recipe is my weeknight go to!

All day at work I dream of dinner. Also, all day at night I dream of breakfast too lol! When I get home I want carbs carbs carbs and my frenchie Charlie (see a picture of him below). But sometimes I do not want to boil pasta, saute in the pan and clean up. So this recipe is for those weekdays I only have energy for 1 step cooking. Usually this falls on days Bravo has a Real Housewives show on lol! You can mix up whatever veggies you have in your fridge. Just make sure veggies are same size as gnocchi so cooks fast.

3 Tips to perfect dinner on busy nights:

1. When you walk in the door from work or errands turn on the oven. Pre-heating gives you that crispy perfectly cooked inside and outside dinner. When I am busy I always forget. So now I get home from working and first thing is preheat that oven!

2. When roasting make sure you spread the veggies and gnocchi out. If they are too close they will steam instead of crisp. It is cool to use two sheet trays. Just rotate one to the top and one to the bottom of the oven half way through cooking. This helps with lovely browning of veggies!

3. A touch of lemon and tiny pinch salt or cheese after roasting veggies/gnocchi adds great brightness to the dinner. This is a restaurant trick to that zing and yum you do not always get at home!
