Gnocchi With Hot and Sweet Peppers

Step 1

Heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a 3-quart, oven-safe dish (like a 9-by-13-inch pan or a Dutch oven), combine the bell peppers, tomatoes, 1/4 cup oil, chipotle and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine, then place on the oven’s center rack.

Step 2

On a sheet pan, break up the gnocchi and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil (no need to boil first). Season with salt and shake into an even layer. Transfer to the oven’s bottom rack. Roast both the vegetables and the gnocchi until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots and the gnocchi is crisp underneath and still squishy in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes (no need to stir partway through).

Step 3

Transfer the gnocchi to the roasted peppers and stir until the gnocchi is glossy red.
