Who doesn’t love buffalo sauce, cauliflower gnocchi, and chicken sausage? That’s the dream team if you ask me. And let’s get real, does anyone really ‘enjoy’ cooking cauliflower gnocchi on the stove? It can be tricky, get stuck together, not cook evenly, yada yada– if you know you know.
This recipe solves all of those cauliflower gnocchi cooking hurdles by taking all the guesswork out– plop them on a Sheetpan and bake! It’s pretty much magic.
This is no doubt the easiest dinner to prepare, and it’s also healthy, super delicious, and virtually no clean up! Absolutely perfect if you ask me.
In the past, I’ve always cooked my cauliflower gnocchi on the stove, and to be completely honest, i’m still (after many many many attempts) trying to perfect it!
There are a lot of different opinions out there.. some say you should thaw it out first, others say don’t. I like to thaw for 5-7 minutes first, and make sure all clumps are broken up before I add it to my very hot, non-stick pan.
Today, I decided to make this Sheetpan Buffalo Cauliflower Gnocchi & Chicken Sausage on a Sheetpan and my life has officially and very quickly, changed for the better.
Is there anything better than a hands-off meal? Not in my opinion. This dish is truly the best of the best. Toss everything on the Sheetpan and pop it in the oven. No hassle, no mess, it really is the best.
