Recipe: harissa roast gnocchi bake by Shivi Ramoutar
Traybake heaven that makes a quick and delicious midweek supper

This dish is traybake heaven, said Shivi Ramoutar. You can just throw the ingredients into a baking dish, pop it into the oven and sit back and wait for dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp rose harissa paste
- 1 red onion, unpeeled, cut into 8 wedges
- 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled, smashed
- 2 mugs of cherry tomatoes (about 300g)
- 500g packet of gnocchi
- ½-1 small bag of rocket
- ½ packet of feta cheese, crumbled
Method
- Preheat the oven to 240°C.
- In a large roasting tin, mix together half the oil and half the harissa with the onion, garlic and tomatoes, along with a pinch of seasoning. Spread this out on one side of the roasting tin.
- On the other half of the tin, mix together the gnocchi with the remaining oil and harissa.
- Pop into the oven and bake for 25- 30 mins until the gnocchi is crispy and golden and the tomatoes have softened a bit.
- Toss the gnocchi through the softened vegetables, then add the rocket and crumbled feta. Season to taste and enjoy immediately.
