Gnocchi with Sausage and Fall Vegetables

This is pure weeknight magic: pillowy gnocchi tossed with smoky sausage and caramelized vegetables all on one sheet pan, ready in under 30 minutes and requiring almost zero cleanup.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb gnocchi (fresh or frozen)
• 4 Italian sausages, sliced into bite-sized pieces
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
• 1 cup diced butternut squash
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. Toss gnocchi, sausage, vegetables, olive oil, and garlic on a large sheet pan. Season generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the gnocchi is golden and vegetables are caramelized.
4. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve straight from the pan.

Chef's tip: Don't skip the halfway stir—it's what turns those Brussels sprouts into crispy-edged treasures and ensures the gnocchi browns evenly instead of steaming.
