Liz's Roasted Broccoli Salad

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place broccoli on a large sheet pan, on one side. Place bacon and shallots on the other side. It will be very full, so if you’re running out of room you can separate this onto two sheet pans. Drizzle broccoli with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast everything for 20-30 minutes, until things are nice and browned. Transfer broccoli, bacon, and shallots to a bowl.

Step 2

Turn the oven temp down to 375 degrees. Add sourdough to the still-greasy bacon pan and toss to coat in the bacon grease. Add more oil or butter as needed to get the croutons evenly coated. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy and lightly browned.

Step 3

Toss broccoli, bacon, and shallot with feta (add it while everything is hot so it melts a little bit! so yum), lemon zest and lemon juice, and sourdough croutons. Finish with a clove of freshly grated garlic, if you can handle the bite, which I most definitely can! Also: salt, pepper, and olive oil to taste. You can eat this hot or cold or room temp, and it will be so delicious all of the above ways.
