Experience crispy, golden gnocchi roasted to perfection, topped with creamy burrata, sweet-tart pomegranate arils, and a drizzle of spicy hot honey. This delightful combination balances textures and flavors for an irresistible appetizer or light meal, perfect for a crowd or a cozy night in.


Ingredients

Scale

Gnocchi

  • 500 g shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 1 ball burrata cheese
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • ¼½ tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Fresh thyme or basil leaves (optional garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Toss Gnocchi: In a bowl, combine the gnocchi with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to season evenly.
  3. Roast Gnocchi: Spread the seasoned gnocchi in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure each side gets golden and crispy.
  4. Make Hot Honey: While the gnocchi roasts, gently warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Add chili flakes and let infuse, stirring occasionally to release the spice flavor into the honey.
  5. Plate Gnocchi: Remove the roasted gnocchi from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter while still warm.
  6. Add Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and scatter over the warm gnocchi, allowing its creamy richness to melt slightly.
  7. Add Pomegranate: Sprinkle the pomegranate arils over the dish, adding a burst of tartness and color.
  8. Drizzle Hot Honey: Generously drizzle the infused hot honey over the entire dish for a sweet and spicy glaze.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh thyme or basil leaves for an herbal touch, then serve immediately to enjoy the warm, creamy, crispy textures at their best.

Notes

  • Adjust the chili flakes in the hot honey according to your spice preference.
  • Use shelf-stable gnocchi for best roasting results; fresh gnocchi may require less cooking time and a different technique.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between crispy gnocchi and creamy burrata.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or basil enhance aroma but can be omitted if unavailable.
