Notes

  1. This recipe has not been tested with cauliflower gnocchi or fresh gnocchi; use at your own risk
  2. If you plan on freezing the meal, be sure to blanch your broccoli & brussels sprouts or go for frozen veggies instead
  3. 3. If you want to try for a crispier gnocchi texture, you can broil them after roasting through for 2-5 minutes. I would recommend removing the chicken & veggies so they don't overcook. If you plan on broiling, separate the gnocchi on the pan from the other ingredients or arrange it on a different pan.
Assemble Ahead
  1. place all ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE GNOCCHI in a freezer-friendly container (I like the 3 quart Ikea containers as pictured above) or bag.
  2. freeze for up to 3 months.
  3. thaw completely, toss with gnocchi and a little extra oil, and roast up in the oven for 25 minutes.
Cook Ahead
  1. cook as directed.
  2. portion leftovers out into 2 cup meal prep containers.
  3. reheat in the microwave until steaming hot, or in a frying pan (which does a better job at preserving the texture of the gnocchi)
  4. leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
