Description

Experience the delightful Rainbow Grilled Gnocchi Skewers, bursting with flavor and freshness. This dish features tasty ingredients like gnocchi, vibrant bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and a herb dressing that makes it ideal for a quick, enjoyable meal any day of the week.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz. potato gnocchi
  • 1 large bell pepper, chopped into chunks, any color
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • ½ red onion, chopped into chunks
  • ½ cup olive oil, separated
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, separated
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 4 oz. goat cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to 400℉ and prepare the grates by spraying with cooking spray.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi for 1 minute, then drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  3. In a 9×13 baking dish, mix ¼ cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Assemble the skewers by alternating gnocchi, bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes until all ingredients are used.
  5. Coat each skewer in the olive oil and lemon juice mixture, saving some for later.
  6. Grill the skewers for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Once done, remove from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
  7. Prepare the dressing by combining the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs into the baking dish. Whisk together.
  8. Drizzle the dressing over the grilled skewers and finish with goat cheese crumbles.

Notes

You can use any color of bell pepper for a vibrant look.
Feel free to substitute goat cheese with feta or skip cheese for a vegan option.
For added flavor, marinate the gnocchi and vegetables for a few hours before grilling.
