Caprese Gnocchi Sheet Pan: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Nora Bennett
  • Total Time: 31 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
– 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls, halved
– ÂĽ cup extra virgin olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 cup fresh basil, torn
– Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Caprese Gnocchi Sheet Pan is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss until all ingredients are well-coated.

3. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the ingredients are not overcrowded for even cooking.

4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The gnocchi should be golden, and the tomatoes should be blistered and juicy.

5. Add Fresh Basil: Remove the sheet pan from the oven just before serving. Toss in the fresh basil leaves to keep them vibrant and fragrant.

6. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: For a touch of sweetness and acidity, drizzle balsamic glaze over the top if desired.

7. Serve: Allow it to cool for a minute and then serve it warm, enjoying the mingling aromas.

These uncomplicated steps lead you to an incredible meal ready to be savored!
