This sheet pan gnocchi recipe very quickly has become our very favourite sheet pan dinner. We just can\u2019t get enough – easy, quick, delicious – you just can\u2019t beat a dish like this. We love a good sausage and pepper combination so I decided to made this gnocchi with the classic combo sausage and peppers- sort of a gnocchi riff on my Baked Pierogi with Sausage & Peppers<\/a> that is also on the blog. The perfect midweek meal or really any time meal. If you haven\u2019t baked gnocchi before this will be a real treat – they are tasty little morsels of pillowy dough with slightly crisp exterior and marinated in the pan juices thanks to those bursting tomatoes, herbs and spices and the flavour from the rest of the veggies and sausage. It is one of my favorite sheet pan meals especially for a busy weeknight dinner and it will quickly become your favourite too.<\/p>\n When It comes to baked gnocchi that is one of the most popular questions I get. The answer is NO – you do not have to boil, or precook the gnocchi in this recipe. How is that possible? The tomatoes are a big part of this recipe – they pop while they roast, creating just a little bit of juicy sauce for the whole mix and for the gnocchi to steam then sort of puff up then get nice crusty or crisp edges. Baking them this way gives you a tasty and unique texture to the gnocchi similar to pan frying them – as opposed to them being in a tomato based sauce or a cream sauce.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t get easier when it comes to dinner thanks to the sheet pan. The key to really good sheetpan dinners is making sure you give everything, all ingredients their own piece of sheetpan real estate. For things to really get golden crisp they need to be hitting the pan not layered over top of other ingredients. If you over crowd the ingredients will definitely cook but things may not get as crispy or cook as evenly. If you have a very large pan that is great but if not feel free to use two small sheet pans too, that way everything is touching the pan while roasting.<\/p>\n \n ![\"Sheet](\"https:\/\/www.oliveandmango.com\/images\/uploads\/2023_08_25_sheet_pan_gnocchi_2.jpg\")
