Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) store-bought gnocchi

8 oz (225g) cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

2 cups kale, stems removed and roughly chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced into bite-sized pieces

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika for a rich flavor

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust based on your heat preference)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added richness)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish (optional)

Lemon wedges for serving (optional, to brighten up the dish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, making it easy to clean and preventing your ingredients from sticking.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the gnocchi, sliced cremini mushrooms, chopped kale, and diced red bell pepper. Pour in the minced garlic, olive oil, and season with smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Gently toss everything together until each piece is well coated with the mixture.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the gnocchi and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out in an even layer to allow for optimal roasting.

          Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the gnocchi turn golden brown and the vegetables become tender. Halfway through the cooking time, give everything a gentle stir to ensure even roasting.

            Add Cheese (Optional): If you are using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the roasted gnocchi and vegetables during the last 5 minutes of cooking for a melty finish.

              Serve: Once the gnocchi and vegetables are beautifully roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley for an aromatic touch, and serve with lemon wedges for a refreshing zing.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the dish straight from the baking sheet for a rustic appeal, or transfer to a large serving platter. Drizzle with a bit of extra olive oil and a sprinkle of lemon zest for added elegance. Enjoy your delightful meal!
