Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the beets into cubes of about 1.5 x 1.5 cm. Cut the pumpkin into pieces, remove the seeds and skin, and cut the flesh into similarly sized cubes. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts.
- Spread the pumpkin and Brussels sprouts along with the gnocchi and garlic cloves over the baking sheet. Add the beets, but keep them separate from the other vegetables. If needed, use two baking sheets.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, season generously with salt and pepper, and roast them in the oven for 20–25 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, place the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until reduced by half. Add the honey, mustard, and olive oil, then let it cool.
- Arrange the roasted vegetables and gnocchi on a large platter, drizzle with the reduced balsamic sauce, and garnish generously with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
