Sheet pan lemon roasted gnocchi

This was a recipe that was impossible to name. You have roasted gnocchi, onions, garlic, and grape tomatoes roasted until the gnocchi is perfectly golden and the tomatoes are bursting. Then you have the salad of torn basil and spinach, dressed with a great little dressing of a citrusy hazy IPA, olive oil, and lemon pepper. We just call it sheet pan gnocchi and it’s one of our favorites.

We ate this by itself the first time and it could definitely stand as it’s own dinner. It works so great as a side though, especially for those nights where you want to be by the grill instead of making your side on the stove.

If you didn’t guess we’re huge foodies. We watch cooking shows all the time, and we’ve recently been obsessed with everything Magnolia Network just launched. When watching shows we realized, these families are sharing a piece of meat for dinner. We’re from the Midwest, we don’t share food. If we were having steak we would each have one, and so we’ve avoided steak, because the 9 year old doesn’t like steak. This kid will eat a bowl of curry or the spiciest fried rice, but steak, nah. She has a very weird pallet. Anyway, I was thinking, we’re eating food wrong. We should be grilling up one gorgeous steak and sharing it. Especially because I have all the baby weight to lose, I was definitely eating for two during most of 2020 and it shows.

So we bought a New York strip and grilled it, I made some caramelized onions (it was my first attempt, so I think I need more practice to perfect my methods.) Then we enjoyed our sheet pan gnocchi with steak, and even the picky one ate all of her steak!

This is now my favorite side for grilling nights. It’s ridiculously easy and looks way more sophisticated than it is.
