Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop. Wipe out pan.
While bacon cooks, halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Finely chop sun-dried tomatoes.
