Instructions

Preheat the grill to 400℉. Spray the grill grates with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi for 1 minute. Once done, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
In a 9×13 baking dish, combine ¼ cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk it together.
Assemble the skewers by alternating gnocchi, bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes until all ingredients are used up.
Dip each skewer into the olive oil and lemon juice mixture. Reserve some for dressing later.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes. Remove and set aside on a serving plate.
To make the dressing, mix the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs in the baking dish that held the leftover mixture. Whisk until combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the grilled skewers and top with goat cheese crumbles.

Notes

For extra flavor, include other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms on the skewers.
To make this dish vegetarian-friendly, omit the goat cheese or swap for a vegan cheese alternative.
These skewers can be served immediately or chilled for a refreshing appetizer.
