Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 1 Make the breadcrumb topping: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the pan and stir to combine with the oil. Spread into a single layer and let sit for 1-2 minutes, until they start to toast and become fragrant. Stir occasionally and cook for 3-4 more minutes until the breadcrumbs are fully golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. 2 Make the dressing: Whisk together the ¼ cup olive oil along with the salt, pepper, dried thyme and dried oregano. Set aside. 3 To a sheet pan add: cubed eggplant, tomatoes, gnocchi, smashed garlic and brown lentils. Drizzle the dressing all over and toss to combine everything and make sure everything is well coated. 4 Bake for 25 minutes, tossing at the 15 minute mark. After 25 minutes add the mozzarella cheese over top of all the ingredients on the pan and bake for 5-7 more minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling (if needed, broil for 1-3 minutes on the low broil setting). 5 Serve immediately topped with toasted breadcrumbs and fresh basil leaves.View original recipe
