Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet (or two if needed for space) with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together all the Greek dressing ingredients (olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and pressed garlic). Set aside.

Step 3

To the prepared sheet pan, add the drained lentils, halved baby tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, chopped eggplant, chopped red onion, gnocchi, chopped garlic, and the frozen Daring Diced Plant Chicken. Spread everything out in an even layer.

Step 4

Drizzle the Greek dressing evenly over all the ingredients on the pan. Toss everything thoroughly with tongs or clean hands to ensure the veggies, gnocchi, lentils, and Plant Chicken are well coated.

Step 5

Bake for 25 minutes. At the 15-minute mark, remove the pan, toss everything again for even browning, and return to the oven.

Step 6

After the full 25 minutes, remove the pan, crumble the vegan feta over the top evenly. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the feta softens slightly, the gnocchi is golden and crisp-edged, the veggies are tender, and the Plant Chicken are heated through and lightly crisped (they’ll absorb the flavors beautifully).

Step 7

Remove from the oven. Serve immediately, topped with the chopped fresh herb mix, a generous drizzle of olive oil, and optional black olives for extra briny pop. Enjoy!
