Step 1

Heat oven to 425 degrees F.  To a large mixing bowl, add the broccoli florets, gnocchi and white beans.  Next, drizzle over 1/4 cup olive oil and season with the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Use a large spoon to mix everything together, making sure that the gnocchi and broccoli are well coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 2

Add the grated parmesan cheese to a medium sized bowl, along with one tablespoon of olive oil.  You are welcome to add a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder if you like. Mix together well. Pour the parmesan cheese mixture onto a large baking sheet and use your hands to spread it out, making sure the entire bottom of the sheet pan is covered with the cheese.

Step 3

Next, add the gnocchi and broccoli mixture onto the sheet pan and use your hands to arrange everything in a single layer on top of the parmesan cheese.  You can spray the top with a little cooking spray, if you like. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake until the parmesan cheese on the bottom gets nice and crispy, about 25 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and sprinkle on about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and place back in the oven.  Bake for another 5 minutes, or until parmesan cheese is melted.  Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes, until the parmesan cheese has hardened a little bit.  Drizzle with lemon dressing and sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy!
