Once you realize you can toss uncooked gnocchi onto a sheet pan and bake it, you’ll find it’s a total game-changer for weeknight dinners.
When you bake gnocchi, something amazing and magical happens. The insides become soft and the outsides are crispy perfection. Essentially, it becomes little bits of potato heaven on a fork.
Sheet Pan Gnocchi Ingredients
This recipe is rocking:
- Shelf-stable gnocchi (find it in the pasta aisle)
- Frozen veggies (the convenience!) but you can use fresh ones too.
- Chicken sausage
- Olive oil & white vinegar
- Dried herbs but feel free to use your favorite dry Italian seasoning
How to Use Fresh Veggies For This Recipe
You can’t beat the convenience of frozen veggies, but if you have fresh ones, you can use them in this recipe. Do your best to cut the vegetables into uniform sizes as it will help everything cook uniformly.
If all the vegetables are fresh, reduce the first wave of cooking time by 3 minutes.
Recipe Notes/Pro Tips
- Do not thaw the frozen veggies before adding the marinade or baking.
- Pay attention to the recipe directions on when to add the chicken sausage. Adding it with the veggies will result in a crispier sausage (yum!). Adding it with the gnocchi will result in warmed sausage with no sear. You do you.
- You could also use your favorite premade Italian dressing.
- This is a great use for leftover Air Fryer Roasted Garlic or Instant Pot Roasted Garlic!
- If you have leftover frozen broccoli, you’ll love making some Roasted Frozen Broccoli later in the week for a fast and delicious side dish.
How to Reheat Baked Gnocchi
This recipe reheats really well! Pop it into an air fryer for 2 minutes at 350F or for 1 minute in the microwave.
The gnocchi will dry out a bit during reheating, so I recommend adding a splash of olive oil or a spritz of water before reheating.
Sheet Pan Gnocchi Meal Prep Tips
This recipe is a meal prep dream! Slice the chicken sausage and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can also make the marinade 24 hours ahead of time. Because you need to store the marinade at room temperature to keep the olive oil liquid, don’t add the parmesan until right before using.

This is one of my favorite easy dinner meals. It’s easy to make vegetarian or gluten free, which I’ve needed to do multiple times. My family loves it and I love how quickly it comes together.
Samantha, I’m thrilled you’re such a fan of this recipe! We love it too and I’m always happy when others find out how easy and customizable it is.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
Sheet pan gnocchi! So good! I’m definitely going to try your veggie combo. The colorful cauliflower is so pretty! I’ve only tried it with zucchini yellow squash onions peppers and asparagus. For a party once, I speared them onto little skewers.Â
The colorful cauli is from Trader Joe’s! I can’t stand their fresh produce, but their frozen stuff is totally on pointe.
Have you found the mini gnocchi? They are super adorable and I bet the little ones would love them in this recipe!
I have not!!
I’ve been meaning to write this for AGES. This is a weekly meal in our house. It’s a fan favorite and a great easy way to get my kids to eat veggies without a fight. So freaking tasty
So glad you all like it so much. 😊
This was so good and so easy! Thanks for another great recipe.Â
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s one of my favorite simple and adaptable recipes.
Thanks for reminding me to make this again soon. 🙂
Planning to try this tonight. I only have frozen gnocchi on hand. Should I thaw it first?
Susan, I’d follow the instructions on the bag. I believe *most* have you cook it from frozen, but each brand might be a little different.
Thanks for your quick reply. It does say cook from frozen. I wondered whether it would inhibit the roasting and crispiness but I’ll try it. Using frozen veggies also so we’ll see what happens!
If you have the space in your oven, I would give the frozen gnocchi their own tray or even a section of the train. That will give them space to roast instead of steam.
