Description

This Parmesan Crusted Gnocchi with Broccoli and White Beans is a quick and easy vegetarian sheet pan dinner! You only need a few ingredients to throw this delicious meal together. The parmesan, white beans and broccoli add protein and the potato gnocchi will keep you nice and full. Serve with a side salad and bread for a hearty dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups small broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
  • 1 (15 oz) can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (16 oz) package gnocchi, I used gluten free gnocchi
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh lemon and fresh herbs for serving, if desired

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.  To a large mixing bowl, add the broccoli florets, gnocchi and white beans.  Next, drizzle over 1/4 cup olive oil and season with the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Use a large spoon to mix everything together, making sure that the gnocchi and broccoli are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
  2. Add the grated parmesan cheese to a medium sized bowl, along with one tablespoon of olive oil.  You are welcome to add a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder if you like. Mix together well. Pour the parmesan cheese mixture onto a large baking sheet and use your hands to spread it out, making sure the entire bottom of the sheet pan is covered with the cheese.
  3. Next, add the gnocchi and broccoli mixture onto the sheet pan and use your hands to arrange everything in a single layer on top of the parmesan cheese.  You can spray the top with a little cooking spray, if you like. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake until the parmesan cheese on the bottom gets nice and crispy, about 25 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle on about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and place back in the oven.  Bake for another 5 minutes, or until parmesan cheese is melted.  Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes, until the parmesan cheese has hardened a little bit.  Drizzle with lemon dressing and sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy!
