- 1 1/2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 12 oz grain-free gnocchi, frozen or fresh (like this, see notes for nightshade free)
- 12 oz package of Italian sausage, sliced
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup fresh spinach
For the herb sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp fresh basil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the gnocchi, vegetables, and sausage to the baking sheet and top with avocado oil, and seasonings. Toss to coat.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through. Bake until the internal temperature of the sausage is 165 F and the gnocchi is crisp.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the spinach immediately. Toss to coat, allowing the spinach to lightly wilt.
- To make the dressing, use a blender or immersion blender, and blend the olive oil, lemon, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Top the baking sheet with the dressing and toss to coat. Serve fresh.
Notes
- If gnocchi is frozen, it may take an extra 5 minutes to cook.
- How to make this recipe with nightshade free gnocchi. Use my AIP cauliflower gnocchi recipe and prepare as directed, boiling beforehand. However, this gnocchi will cook a bit faster. Roast the sheet pan by itself for 10 minutes and then add the gnocchi.
- To make it with a nightshade-free sausage, use this!
- To make the recipe AIP, use the AIP gnocchi and swap the sausage for something like seasoned chicken.
