Ingredients
12 Cup Broccoli or Caluliflower Florets, Fresh
3 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 Teaspoon kosher salt
4 Ounce Bacon, sliced
1/2 Cup mayonnaise
2 Teaspoon honey
2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
Pinch salt
Pinch black pepper
1/4 Cup Currants, dried
1/4 Medium red onion, sliced
Steps
1
When ready to cook, set the temperature to 325℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.2
Place the cauliflower and broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and toss to evenly coat.3
Place florets on a large baking sheet that will fit on the grill, then place on the grill and cover and roast until caramelized and crispy, about 25-35 minutes. Stir once during roasting. When cooked, remove and allow to cool for a few minutes.4
Place the bacon directly on the grill grate next to the baking sheet with the broccoli and cook 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove from the grill and crumble by hand or chop with a knife.5
To make the Dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise with the honey. When combined, whisk in the red wine vinegar and taste, adding a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.6
Stir in the roasted vegetables, then the currants and the sliced red onion. Sprinkle in the bacon, reserving a little for topping.7
Taste, ensuring there is enough seasoning. Enjoy!
