Sheet-Pan Gnocchi With Sausages and Peppers Recipe • 5★

Updated January 14, 2025

David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews.

Roasting gnocchi on a sheet pan gives the potato dumplings an irresistible, chewy-crisp texture with lovely browned edges. Here, the gnocchi are cooked with sausage and peppers, the classic sandwich combination, to make a rich and very savory one-pan meal. A handful of cherry tomatoes melt in the pan alongside everything else, adding a juicy element that’s almost like a sauce. Hearty and satisfying, this dish needs no accompaniment, though spooning it on top of a bed of arugula or baby spinach would add even more vegetables to the mix.

I think the sausages look and taste better if browned first before putting in the oven.

Snowy stay home kinda night tonight. Made exactly according to recipe. Wonderful, easy peasy dinner with great flavor. Gnocchi cooked perfectly as directed contrary to concerns raised by others. Melissa would never lead us wrong. Perfect dinner for a cold snowy night!

Haven't made this yet, but have made the other Crispy Gnocchi and Sausage recipe and it's awesome. That one cooks 20-25 minutes at 425 and the gnocchi are perfect. I think 40 minutes would turn them into dust. Watch it if you try this recipe! (Maybe add gnocchi half way through?)

this was a really good! I followed the instructions. the cook time was good. I actually cooked it on convection bake at 400°. I probably could have reduced the cooking time by a little bit because a few pieces in the corner of the pan got charred. this recipe made a ton of food! I'm a big eater and this made at least six servings. the recipe states it's three to four servings but they must be awfully hungry people. there was so much that I had to cook it on two sheet pans

My gnocchi were hard as rocks. I will make this dish again, but will substitute potatoes.

Used 12 oz. package of Aldi Organic Chicken Apple sausages from the freezer, doubled cherry tomatoes, used 1 1/2 red and yellow peppers, and added one Granny Smith apple cut in large chunks for a bit of sweetness. 30 minutes total cook time using 400 degrees on convection setting. Turned sausages at 15 minutes. Added dried basil to the spice mix in addition to the chopped parsley garnish. Wondered if I should have cut tomatoes in half to release more juices. Flavorfful, easy, delicious.
