Preparation
STEP 1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
STEP 2
If you prefer softer gnocchi, boil gnocchi in a pot of salted water for 2 minutes. Drain most of the water. For more crispy gnocchi, do not pre-boil, just be sure the gnocchi are fresh (not dried)!
STEP 3
Build skewers (pre-soaked) with gnocchi (about 3-5 per) alternating with, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and any other optional add-ons you would like to include. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper.
STEP 4
Grill skewers, turning regularly, until gnocchi are browned and crisped and vegetables have grill marks and are softened, about 7 minutes total.
STEP 5
While skewers are grilling mix pesto with lemon juice and olive oil.
STEP 6
Transfer grilled skewers to a platter. Drizzle pesto sauce over the top and serve any remaining on the side. Great as an entrée or appetizer!
