Spread out the sliced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced onion. This mix adds color and flavor. Drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil over the veggies. Sprinkle one teaspoon of Italian seasoning, plus salt and pepper. Toss everything so it coats well.

This helps them roast evenly. Roasting time and tips Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes. The veggies should be tender, and the gnocchi lightly golden. Stir halfway through. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking. Adding garlic after roasting Once the dish is done, take it out of the oven. Toss in three cloves of minced garlic. Let it sit for about five minutes. This allows the garlic to flavor the dish without burning. Serving suggestions Serve the gnocchi hot. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color.

Toss them in right before you serve to keep their bright flavor. To serve more, double the ingredients. Use two baking sheets to keep everything spread out. You can also make this dish ahead.
