• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Thickly slice zucchini into half-moons. Place zucchini and peeled & chopped pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over garlic & herb seasoning and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Place gnocchi in a baking dish. Drizzle with some olive oil (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people). Season, toss to coat and spread out evenly. Bake until golden, 15-18 minutes.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the creamy, cheesy flavours, though some found it bland and suggested adding pesto or mustard for a boost.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make with easy clean-up, but some struggled with cooking times for perfectly golden gnocchi.
  • Suggestions: Several recommend boiling the gnocchi first, then pan-frying for better texture. Adding bacon or chicken was a popular tweak.
  • Leftovers: Some found it dry when reheated; adding extra cream or milk helped maintain creaminess.
  • Texture: Opinions varied on baked gnocchi; some loved the crispy exterior, while others found it too chewy or hard.
