Easy peasy lemon squeezy roast gnocchi

This is by no means the most complicated recipe I could post it is however incredibly, easy, tasty and quick. This is something I make almost every week and its' a really good addition to your 'bung in the oven' vegan recipe book. Depending on how much time you have on your hands you can make your gnocchi from scratch or buy a pack ready made from the supermarket they're normally about 80p and totally veganoid. I've chosen to use butternut squash here as it is in season at the moment and incredibly cheap at about a £1 for a huge one but you could make this with cauliflower, carrots, beets or parsnips.

You will need:
2 cups gnocchi
1/2 butternut squash peeled
2 bunches of basil (yes i'm still trying to use it up)
4 cloves of garlic
1 lemon
olive oil

  • Mix the juice of one lemon with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and the garlic chopped and stir. Chop your butternut squash roughly the same size as your gnocchi and add to the lemon and oil mixture place in a roasting pan and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes turning once finally finish with an extra squeeze of lemon, sprinkle of salt and some freshly chopped basil.
