In a non-stick skillet, heat up oil. Add the garlic chips to toast. Pay attention to this coz you don’t want to burn the garlic. Set aside once toasted.
Use the same pan to brown the chopped bacon. Set aside when done.
Boil water. Add the broccoli and the sliced stalks. Don’t throw away the stalks coz they’re really good. Just peel and slice. Just let the broccoli cook for a few minutes.
Drain the water then blanch the broccoli with the ice cold water. This stops the cooking and it will keep the broccoli green and crispy. Do this for 2 minutes or so.
Drain the ice cold water. Add the broccoli into the same non-skillet pan where you cooked the garlic and bacon. Add the bacon back, season with a little bit of salt and pepper, and toss gently.
Transfer into a platter then sprinkle the toasted garlic chips on top.
