Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2
|
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
|
Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
4
|
Dice the bacon into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a large skillet.
5
|
Set the skillet over medium high heat. Fry the bacon, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, just until it begins to render some fat, about 2-3 minutes. The bacon should still be very undercooked. Transfer the bacon and fat to the bowl of broccoli.
6
|
Toss the broccoli and bacon until the oil is evenly distributed. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
7
|
Roast the broccoli and bacon on middle rack of oven for 15 minutes.
8
|
Open the oven and stir the broccoli with a rubber spatula. Continue roasting until broccoli is tender and slightly charred and bacon is browned and crisp, 10-15 minutes.
9
|
Check to see that dish is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
10
|
Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Bacon Crispness Mastery 🥓
    Cut bacon into small, uniform pieces and partially cook before adding to broccoli to ensure maximum crispiness without burning.
  • Moisture Control Technique 💧
    Pat broccoli florets completely dry with paper towels before roasting to prevent steaming and achieve perfect caramelization.
  • Spacing Strategy 📏
    Use a large baking sheet and spread broccoli and bacon in a single layer with space between pieces to ensure even roasting and crispy edges.
  • Flavor Layering Hack 🧄
    Sprinkle garlic powder after roasting to prevent burning and preserve its delicate, sweet aromatics.
  • Bacon Fat Optimization 🔥
    Render bacon fat directly on the baking sheet to create a natural, flavorful coating for the broccoli during roasting.
