Here’s a fun and easy way to make a delicious Roasted Broccoli Salad. This recipe is packed with flavors from lemon, bacon, feta, and more. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 2 bags of broccoli florets (24 ounces total)
- Olive oil
- Salt
- 12 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1-2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces of crumbled feta
- 3-4 thick slices of sourdough, cut into cubes
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Lemon juice to taste
- 1 clove of garlic, grated
- Salt, pepper, and olive oil for finishing
Instructions:
-
Roast the broccoli, bacon, and shallot: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Spread the broccoli on one side of a large sheet pan, and the bacon and shallots on the other side. If it’s too crowded, feel free to use two pans. Drizzle the broccoli with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast everything for 20-30 minutes until they’re nicely browned. Once done, transfer the broccoli, bacon, and shallots to a bowl.
-
Make the sourdough croutons: Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees. If there’s too much bacon fat on the pan, drain some off. Then, add the sourdough cubes to the pan and toss them in the bacon fat. If needed, add more olive oil or butter to ensure the croutons are evenly coated. Bake for 5-7 minutes until they’re crispy and lightly browned.
-
Toss and serve: Mix the roasted broccoli, bacon, and shallot with the crumbled feta. Do this while everything is still hot so the feta melts a bit – it’s super tasty! Add the lemon zest and juice, and the sourdough croutons. If you’re a fan of garlic, grate a fresh clove into the salad. Finally, season with salt, pepper, and olive oil to taste. This salad is great hot, cold, or at room temperature.
Enjoy your meal!
