Mmm, gnocchi! Anyone who’s ever had it will tell you how much of a treat it is. Though it can be made from a number of different things, in general, it consists of starchy, flour-based ingredients, all of which are a no-go for anyone on a low-carb diet or who have gluten allergies, Fortunately, here at MPOF we have no shortage of meal prep ideas, and we’re happy to tell you that you can still enjoy gnocchi and have it be within your dietary guidelines! How? Because of this incredibly healthy roasted Mediterranean cauliflower gnocchi recipe!
We understand that sometimes it can be hard to get in your recommended daily intake of veggies, especially if you get tired of the same meal prep ideas week in and week out! Lucky for you, this cauliflower gnocchi recipe is here to save you from the dread of eating bland or boring vegetables for your prepped meals again for work or school. We used Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi for this meal prep idea, and we were thrilled because it actually had a similar texture to traditional flour-based gnocchi varieties! It’s such an epic win when things that are actually really good for you, taste like they shouldn’t be, don’t you think?
Roasted Mediterranean Cauliflower Gnocchi & Veggies is an easy sheet pan meal that's perfect for a fast Sunday meal prep or a quick weeknight meal when you want something tasty and nourishing.
Fresh cauliflower will last you about two weeks in the fridge—But because the cauliflower and other veggies in this meal prep idea are cooked, we found the dish to last between 3 and 5 days in total.
Yes! If you love this recipe as a meal prep idea, consider making lots of it ahead of time, because it should last 2-3 months in your freezer!
We love this meal prep idea because it comes together in a flash of just 30 minutes! Start the process by preheating your oven to 425 °F. While you wait, mix all ingredients (except for the cauliflower gnocchi) together in a large bowl, until everything is well-coated in oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Empty the mixture onto a sheet pan, then add the gnocchi pieces. Spread evenly across pan surface and roast on the top oven rack for 10-15 minutes. Shift veggies on the pan, then return to the top rack for another 5-10 minutes. Broil on 500 °F for 3-5 minutes, and you’re ready to serve!
We portioned this dish into simple one-compartment meal prep containers! Lacking in the container department? Don’t worry, you can read our Ultimate Guide to Meal Prep Containers, or purchase some that we highly recommend right here!
