Crispy gnocchi. Juicy sausage. Charred broccoli. No notes.

Crispy Gnocchi & Italian Herb Sausage

Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 14 min | Servings: 1

It’s no secret that we love a good sheet-pan dinner: there’s no better way to combine juicy sausage, seasonal flavors, and minimal cleanup into an easy weeknight win. But this one? This one is maximalist in its love of minimalism. Our Italian Herb Chicken Sausage does most of the cheffing, infusing every bite with Calabrian chili, roasted garlic, and fragrant herbs. Toss in plump gnocchi, charred broccoli, and a quick shake of spices, and you’ve got a sheet pan gnocchi with sausage recipe that’s equal parts hearty and hassle-free. A drizzle of honey at the end adds just the right sweet note to balance the heat.

Note: Like all sheet-pan meals, this one’s a blank canvas. Try swapping in bell peppers, diced sweet potatoes, squash, or mushrooms for your own spin.

1 package Italian Herb Chicken Sausage, sliced into 3/4" pieces
1 16oz package shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi
4 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
0.75 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 14 min | Servings: 1
1
Preheat oven to 400°F. While it heats, add gnocchi, broccoli florets, and sausage rounds to a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
2
Spread everything into a single, even layer. Be extra sure that the broccoli and gnocchi don't end up on top of each other, otherwise they won't properly brown.
3
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until gnocchi and sausage are golden and crisp on the bottom and broccoli is tender with charred edges.
4
Remove from oven and drizzle with honey (if you're feeling it). Sprinkle everything with freshly grated Parmesan and serve immediately.
