Gnocchi and Roasted Italian Vegetables Sheet Pan Dinner

Gnocchi and Roasted Italian Vegetables

 

Sheet pan dinners are super convenient and this one has the bonus of being a vegetarian option.

I have used cauliflower or kale gnocchi from Trader Joe’s in this before, but I find that regular gnocchi works better for this method.

I’ve said in the past that pretty much any veggie can be roasted, so if there is something in this recipe that doesn’t suit you or your family, feel free to experiment.

Every time I make this meal, it’s a hit with my family. As a bonus, it’s very easy to make and there’s just the one pan to wash!9

Roasted Chicken and Vegetables Sheet Pan Supper – with ideas for lots of variations

Roasted Chicken and Vegetables Sheet Pan dinner

 

Ever since Christmas when I tried the sheet pan supper idea from Simple Bites, I’ve been making different versions.  I’ve used turkey breast, pork tenderloin, and boneless chicken breast.

I vary the seasonings, going with whatever hits my mood at the time.  And the vegetables are either what looked good in the grocery or what I’ve got handy in the fridge.  Once summer hits, I’m sure I’ll be adding in farmer’s market fare as well.

This sheet pan method is so simple.  It’s always healthy and tastes fantastic.  It doesn’t take long, but you do need about 45 minutes total.  For that reason, I don’t do this meal on our busiest nights.

For a family of 6 or more people, you’ll need either two sheet pans or one large pan.  I bought this half sheet from Nordic Ware.  Mine came from Walmart.  The one I linked is Amazon, on sale for $10 as I write this, but it says the normal price is $110, which is nuts.  I paid about $14 at Walmart.

I use this pan all the time.  Not just for these dinners, but also for baking cookies, warming bread, cooking bacon…  I’m really happy with this purchase!
