Mediterranean Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Broccolini and Feta — Bold Flavors, Zero Fuss

Za'atar and red pepper flakes give this one-pan dinner a warm Mediterranean kick while everything roasts together until golden. The gnocchi develops crispy edges, the broccolini chars just right, and chunks of feta melt into creamy pockets throughout.

Ingredients

  • 1 lbpotato gnocchi, store-bought
  • 1 broccolini, ends trimmed, florets cut into big pieces and stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cherry tomatoes
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 clovegarlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 tbspextra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tspsea salt
  • ½ tspfresh thyme leaves
  • ½ tspza'atar
  • ¼ tspred pepper flakes
  • black pepper, freshly ground
  • 6 ozfeta cheese, torn into 1-inch chunks
  • fresh parsley(optional)

Instructions

  1. Crank your oven to 450°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. This high heat is essential for getting those gnocchi edges crispy.
  2. Combine the gnocchi, broccolini, cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, thyme, za'atar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss everything until well coated, then spread in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 10 minutes, then give everything a good stir to ensure even browning. Scatter the feta chunks over the top and continue roasting for 15-20 minutes more, until the gnocchi are tender with golden edges and the vegetables and feta have developed some nice color.
