  • Roast the mix in the oven, stirring once or twice. The gnocchi are ready when they are golden and starting to crisp, the tomatoes have burst, and onion is golden. About 25–30 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven.
  • Take the garlic cloves and squeeze them onto the tray, mash with a fork. Squeeze the lemon wedge so the juice evenly coats the tray add another tablespoon of olive oil and mix well.
