Ingredients

Scale

1 yellow squash (cut into 1/2-inch slices)
8 medium tomatoes (halved)
2 cups mushrooms (quartered)
1 zucchini (cut into 1/2-inch slices)
1 medium eggplant (cut into 1-inch cubes)
6 garlic cloves (minced)
1 lb gnocchi
Olive oil
Italian seasoning
Salt
Black pepper
Red pepper flakes
Balsamic vinegar
Pine nuts (toasted)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced vegetables and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss until coated.
Spread the veggies on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 20 minutes or until tender and slightly golden.

Top with toasted pine nuts and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
