Ingredients
Produce
- 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms, sliced
- 2 medium shallots, chopped
- Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)
Pantry
- 1 pound fresh, shelf-stable, or frozen potato gnocchi
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat it to 400ºF to ensure even roasting of the gnocchi and vegetables.
- Prepare ingredients on the baking sheet. Place the sliced mushrooms and chopped shallots on a rimmed baking sheet. Add the potato gnocchi of your choice—fresh, shelf-stable, or frozen. Drizzle everything evenly with olive oil, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and spread them out in an even layer on the sheet.
- Roast the gnocchi and vegetables. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast, stirring once halfway through, until the gnocchi have puffed up and turned golden and crispy, and the mushrooms and shallots are tender. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes total.
- Garnish and serve. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top if desired for a fragrant herbal note. Serve warm for a delicious, easy meal.
Notes
- You can use any type of gnocchi—fresh, frozen, or shelf-stable—without needing to thaw beforehand.
- Stirring halfway through cooking ensures even browning and prevents sticking.
- If you want extra crispiness, spread the ingredients out well so they roast rather than steam.
- Add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers to customize your sheet pan dinner.
- This recipe pairs well with a simple green salad or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
