Roasted Broccoli & Bacon Alfredo

Roasted Broccoli and Bacon Alfredo 2

 

I am more than a little obsessed with roasted broccoli at the moment. It’s so easy to make and my whole family loves it, so I’ve been making it a few times a week. For this recipe, I decided to jazz it up a bit with crumbled bacon and a rich, creamy alfredo sauce. This might be my new favorite low carb side dish!

Roasted Broccoli & Bacon Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 8 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
