Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
Spread the chopped zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until softened and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato gnocchi in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Adjust seasoning if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted vegetables, cooked gnocchi, and baby spinach leaves. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.
Transfer the warm gnocchi salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy!
