Notes:

  • This recipe halves well, and doubles well.
  • Feel free to omit the gnocchi for a classic green bean casserole.
  • This recipe can be started ahead of time, but leave out the crispy onions until you’re ready to bake to prevent sogginess.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for a few days. (but you’ll have soggy onions instead of crispy ones 🥲)
