These Campfire Gnocchi Kebabs offer a delightful twist on traditional kebabs, combining tender, grilled gnocchi with juicy cherry tomatoes and sweet red onions. Perfect for a quick outdoor meal, these kebabs are flavorful with a hint of smokiness from the grill and are elevated with fresh herbs and zesty pesto or lemon juice.

Ingredients

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 2 small red onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh gnocchi

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon juice, fresh, for drizzling
  • Pesto or salsa verde, for serving

Instructions

  1. Soak Skewers: Soak wooden or bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  2. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill for a few minutes until it reaches medium-high heat, ready for grilling.
  3. Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the fresh gnocchi, cut red onions, cherry tomatoes, and olive oil. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated with oil.
  4. Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the mixture and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  5. Thread Kebabs: Carefully thread the gnocchi, onions, and tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers, making sure not to overcrowd each skewer.
  6. Grill Kebabs: Place the kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4 minutes, then turn over and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the gnocchi is nicely browned and the tomatoes are blistered.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve hot. Drizzle them with fresh lemon juice or your favorite pesto or salsa verde. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Soaking skewers prevents burning and helps maintain their integrity during grilling.
  • Use fresh gnocchi because it grills better and offers a tender texture.
  • Feel free to substitute pesto with salsa verde or your preferred sauce to vary the flavor profile.
  • These kebabs can be served as a side dish or a light main course.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook these kebabs under a broiler or on a grill pan for similar results.
