  • 500 g store-bought potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • juice of one lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 small garlic cloves, pressed
  • 100-125 g plain goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (mix of parsley, dill and mint)

  • 1 handful black olives (optional)

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

Prep Your Station
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Whip Up the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, pressed garlic cloves, 1/2 cup olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. This zesty dressing will flavor everything on the pan.
Assemble the Pan
  1. On the prepared baking sheet, combine the drained and rinsed lentils, halved baby tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, chopped eggplant, chopped red onion, gnocchi, and the first set of chopped garlic cloves. Ensure everything is spread out relatively evenly.
Coat and Toss
  1. Drizzle the prepared Greek dressing evenly over all the ingredients on the sheet pan. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated with the flavorful dressing.
First Bake
  1. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the pan and give everything a good toss to promote even roasting. Return the pan to the oven.
Second Bake & Cheese
  1. Continue baking for another 10 minutes (totaling 25 minutes of baking). Remove the pan from the oven, crumble the goat cheese generously over the top of all the ingredients. Return the pan to the oven for a final 5 minutes, just until the goat cheese is warmed and slightly softened.
Finish and Serve
  1. Once out of the oven, serve the sheet pan gnocchi immediately. Garnish generously with the fresh chopped herbs (parsley, dill, mint), an extra drizzle of olive oil, and the optional black olives if desired.
