Instructions

  • Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Combine ingredients. Toss together the cherry tomatoes, gnocchi, olive oil, salt, pepper directly on the prepared rimmed baking sheet. Do not add the bocconcini at this time. Arrange all the ingredients in an even layer on the baking sheet. 
  • Bake. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the gnocchi are plump and the tomatoes have begun to burst. Remove from the oven, add the bocconcini balls to the baking sheet, and toss everything together with a spatula. The residual heat from the pan, will soften the bocconcini.
  • Finish and Garnish. Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic reduction if preferred.

Notes

  1. Feel free to experiment with different veggies. Keep in mind that different vegetables may require different baking time.
  2. Don’t skip the olive oil. You want to make sure you drizzle olive oil over the gnocchi, this will ensure they won’t dry out during baking.
  3. Your gnocchi is done once it starts to turn a golden color.
  4. If you like your gnocchi crispier, you can always turn the broiler on for 1-2 minutes, but keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze this caprese gnocchi for up to 2 months.
