Print5 Ingredient Pepperoni Pizza Baked Cauliflower Gnocchi
- Prep Time: 6
- Cook Time: 20
- Total Time: 26 minutes
- Yield: 3 1x
- Category: Dinner
- Method: Stove-top, oven
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 2– 12 oz bags frozen cauliflower gnocchi from trader joes
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ¾ jar of marinara (24 oz jar)
- 1 1/3 cups shredded cheese (I used a pizza cheese blend)
- 12–14 pepperonis
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning, optional
- Fresh basil, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Grease a large cast iron skillet with 2-3 T olive oil. Heat over medium high heat then add frozen cauliflower gnocchi. Let crisp up on each side for 1-2 minutes, trying to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pan too much (a little bit is normal). Add more oil if neccessary.
- Reduce heat to medium low, add minced garlic and toss to combine. Cook for 30 seconds or so until fragrant.
- Remove from heat, pour in marinara and toss to combine. Sprinkle on cheese and then arrange pepperoni’s on top. Sprinkle italian seasoning over everything if you are using.
- Transfer to the oven to bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Option to garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!! I love serving with a big salad and a vegetable.
