This is an easy recipe for crispy roasted vegan Gnocchi with garlic mushrooms. These small potato dumplings are quick and easy to make gluten-free and so delicious!
Hi my dears, today I want to share a simple and delicious recipe for Crispy Roasted Vegan Gnocchi (potato dumplings) that is definitely one of my absolute favorite dishes. I make this easy recipe so often and it never gets boring.
For any reason, some people think Gnocchi are noodles, but actually, they are small potato dumplings. They’re just made of potatoes and a little bit of flour plus starch that helps the potato dumplings don’t fall apart. The classic Gnocchi recipe contains also eggs but if you make my recipe for Homemade Vegan Gnocchi, there are no eggs required! You can easily prepare your own and even vegan Gnocchi which taste as delicious as the regular classic potato dumplings.
I definitely prefer to make these potato dumplings from scratch, since they taste much better in my opinion when they’re homemade. Also, I know which ingredients they contain because I can choose them. It’s also possible to make this Vegan Gnocchi gluten-free. Instead of all-purpose flour, you can substitute a [amazon_textlink asin=’B004SBMCT4′ text=’glutenfree-flour blend’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’fitnessbianca-21′ marketplace=’DE’ link_id=’ea350202-07b8-11e9-a434-0b4fed683102′].

I usually prepare more of this delicious potato dumplings and then freeze them in batches, so that I always have some on hand when I want to serve a quick and easy dinner or lunch.
I like Vegan Gnocchi best when they’re crispy pan-fried with mushrooms, garlic, and pine nuts. Also, my beloved garlic basil-parsley pesto is a perfect addition to this easy recipe. If you want to serve this dish with other vegetables, you can head over my recipe for my Vegan Gnocchi vegetable stir-fry.
However, these potato dumplings taste also very good when they’re just cooked. You can serve them with a delicious juicy tomato sauce (such as this creamy “cashew tomato sauce“) or my beloved Vegan Mac and Cheese sauce. It’s really a dish to die for and so easy to make!
But now let’s finally get to the recipe. I hope you’ll love it too.

Hi Bianca
If using store bought gnocchi, do we use it straight from the pack or does it need to be boiled in water before roasting/stir fry ?
If you’re using fresh ones from the refrigerator shelves, you can add them straight to the pan.
Love this recipe! I added asparagus (like Bianca used on one of her Instagram posts for this dish), sun dried tomatoes, and I also added a pesto sauce! Pan frying the gnocchi is something I’ve never tried before and I loved it. It gave it that great little crispy bite to it. Its a refreshing change from the typical boiled, mushy, sauce covered gnocchi. Even with the pesto sauce, I used this dish is nice and light compared to normal gnocchi dishes.
Thank you Bianca for this great recipe! Next, I will be trying it with other types of pasta like you have!
So glad you enjoyed this dish!
Love that you added asparagus and pesto sauce! Sounds so delicious!
Thank you for your amazing feedback! 🙂
Hope you’ll love my other recipes, too!
The gnocchi was good but, in all honesty, I didn’t think the sauce had much flavour and was quite dry/not very ‘saucy’. Is it meant to be like this?
In this recipe there’s no sauce included. It’s just pan-fried gnocchi with mushrooms. It’s rather a stir-fry.
Looked like such an easy recipe. Except the gnocchi doesn’t roast like the pictures. Instead it welds itself to the pan. Whatever you do, don’t try and free it because otherwise the gnocchi tear themselves apart and turn into burnt mash. Luckily, because the gnocchi just become one amorphous blob of burnt mash, you can shake out the onions and mushrooms and throw them in a bowl of boiled pasta instead. Your gnocchi pan just ends up in the bin. That stuff is never coming off.
You’re the first person who can’t pan-fry gnocchi …
I’ve not made this recipe yet but from reading this I know it isn’t due to the gnocchi, it’s your pan. Even the slightest scratch on some non-stick pans means they’re not as ‘non-stick’ as they should be, so I’d advise buying a proper non-stick pan.
Thanks for helping out! 🙂
Super quick, easy and tasty!
Thank you 🙂
