Equipment

Ingredients

1 pakage shelf-stable gnocchi 500 grams
3 vegan sausages sliced into chunks, I used Gusto
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
1 red bell pepper roughly chopped
1½ cups cherry tomatoes
1 red onion roughly chopped
2 handfuls spinach large

To serve

¼ cup vegan pesto
vegan parmesan optional, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a sheet pan with olive oil or line with parchment.
Add the gnocchi, sliced vegan sausage, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, spinach, paprika, parsley, oregano, and garlic powder directly to the sheet pan. Toss well to combine, then spread everything into an even layer so it roasts instead of steams.
Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the gnocchi is lightly golden and the vegetables are caramelized.
Remove from the oven and add the pesto. Stir through until everything is evenly coated.
Return the pan to the oven for about 5 minutes, just to warm the pesto through.
Serve topped with vegan parmesan, if desired.

Notes

Someitmes, it's hard to find egg-free gnocchi. You can swap gnocchi for cooked pasta if that's easier.

For a gluten-free recipe, roast veggies and vegan sausage (check the ingredients) with potatoes, sweet potatoes, or gluten-free gnocchi.

Use store-bought vegan pesto or make your own with basil, nuts, and olive oil. If you're feeling scrappy, use up leftover greens or carrot tops, too!

Feel free to add other veggies, like broccoli, mushrooms, or zucchini.

Sprinkle this sheet pan gnocchi with sausage and pesto with vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast for a cheesy finish.
