Easy Sheet Pan Gnocchi Caprese
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh gnocchi
2 cups cherry tomatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
S&P
1 cup bocconcini balls, halved, if large
1/3 cup basil leaves, shredded
2 tbsp balsamic glaze (or to taste)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Dump the gnocchi onto the sheet pan with the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over top and season with S&P. Give everything a good stir.
Pop this into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Gently stir and add the bocconcini cheese to the pan. Let the heat of the sheet pan slightly melt the cheese. If you like, place the pan back into the oven for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded basil over top of the Caprese, season with more flaky salt and a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze.
