  • For the kale: Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet liberally with olive oil spray.
  • Lay chopped kale and garlic onto the baking sheet, then spray with olive oil spray.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent kale from burning.
  • Remove from oven when kale is crisp, but not brown.
  • For gnocchi: Cook gnocchi per package instructions, typically boiling for 2-3 minutes until they float.
  • Drain and rinse in cold water.
  • Place gnocchi in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
  • To serve: Scoop roughly 2/3 cup gnocchi onto a plate and top with roasted kale and 1 tablespoon of toasted pine nuts.
  • Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.
  • Enjoy.
