Ingredients for Sheet Pan Gnocchi: (Serves 4)

1 (16 oz) package shelf-stable or fresh gnocchi.
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium zucchini, cut in small pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, cut in pieces
1/2 red onion, sliced
2 pre-cooked chicken or smoked sausages, sliced (or mushrooms for a vegetarian option)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, I would let people put it on individually especially if you have children eating this)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional)
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional) Here is an example of one

Instructions:

Preheat Oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare Ingredients: If using shelf-stable gnocchi, no need to boil—just toss them straight onto the sheet pan. If using fresh gnocchi, they may cook faster, so keep an eye on them.
Toss Everything Together: In a large bowl, combine gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and sausage. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (optional especially if serving to children, let guests put it on self serve), salt, and black pepper (if serving to children, perhaps let guests add self serve). Toss to coat evenly. Preparing Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Roasted Vegetables and Sausage is that simple!
Bake: Spread everything evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the gnocchi are golden and slightly crispy and the veggies are tender.
Finish & Serve: Remove from the oven and toss with Parmesan cheese while hot. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil if using. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on the side to complete your Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Roasted Vegetables and Sausage.
