Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan Cheese

Trader Joe's recently started carrying these roasted seasoned Brussels sprouts with parmesan cheese. Not sure if they're here for good or seasonal, but they were an interesting addition to the frozen section on a recent trip.


Ingredients were fairly straightforward - grilled Brussels sprouts halves, parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper, and garlic. They were easy to make on the stovetop - less than 10 minutes in a skillet. We were really excited to try them, but our excitement quickly turned to disappointment. They were so, so salty. I didn't look at the nutritional facts when we bought them, but if I had, I would have noticed that the entire package had 1560mg of sodium. That doesn't sound that terrible in the realm of prepared foods, but even portioned out, that's a good amount of your recommended daily intake when you consider that it's not even that many sprouts in the package, so you would be eating other food (and sodium) alongside it. Flavor was okay, some hits of parm here and there, but mostly just salty.


Buy again? No, too salty for us. Prefer just taking the frozen petite Brussels sprouts and seasoning them ourselves, even though it takes more time and effort.
