步骤

Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray. Combine the veggies, gnocchi, olive oil, and seasonings in a large bowl. Add them to the large sheet pan in a single layer.

In another bowl, make the sage chicken meatballs by combining the ingredients using either your hands, a wooden spoon, or a spatula. I use my hands for this part. Careful not to overmix - just mix until everything is combined. Overmixing will result in tough meatballs.

Scoop about 2 tablespoon of the meat mixture at a time with a small cookie scoop and form into balls on the prepared sheet pan with the pasta-vegetable mixture. Continue until you have 18 meatballs.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The meatballs are done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165℉ (75°C) with a meat thermometer. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the meatballs and the oven.

While the mixture cooks, make the sauce by combining the ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar with a whisk.

When everything comes out of the oven, add the sauce and extra parmesan on top of the gnocchi dish before serving. *Option to serve the sauce on the side.

Hint: be sure to use a large lined sheet pan big enough that everything can be in a single layer!
