• Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Place gnocchi in a baking dish. • Drizzle with olive oil (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people). Season, toss to coat and spread out evenly. • Bake until golden, 15-18 minutes.

• Meanwhile, grate carrot. Finely chop celery. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, carrot and celery, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 7-8 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

• Reduce pan to medium heat and stir in diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, the brown sugar and a splash of water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir through baked gnocchi until combined. Season to taste. • Transfer bacon gnocchi to a large baking dish and sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese. • Bake until cheese is melted and golden, 8-10 minutes.

• Divide bacon and veggie gnocchi bake between bowls. • Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch and help tear over the parsley.
