Mediterranean Gnocchi Bake with Olives and Onions

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.

3.Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until they are tender.

4.Stir in the sliced olives, cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, and diced vegan chicken. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5.In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, usually about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

6.In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked gnocchi with the sautéed vegetable and vegan chicken mixture. Gently fold in half of the vegan mozzarella cheese and half of the chopped parsley.

7.Transfer the gnocchi mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with the remaining vegan mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with the rest of the parsley.

8.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.

9.Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Mediterranean Gnocchi Bake!
