Trader Joe’s Just Turned Brussels Sprouts Into Your Favorite Side Dish

It may be hard for a Brussels sprout-hater to believe, but Trader Joe’s appears to have found a way to make these stinky green balls taste delicious. If pasta has your seal of approval and you enjoy the occasional slab of bacon, you may not even notice the words “Brussels sprouts” on the product’s label. Yes, Trader Joe’s Brussels Sprouts and Uncured Bacon Ravioli could be the perfect way to introduce your palate to this previously scorned vegetable without the unpleasant stench and strange texture. 

Instagram sure seems excited, uttering comments like, “This is by far the all-time greatest new product reveal,” “Will definitely be trying this one,” and, “I’m thinking a pumpkin or butternut squash cream sauce.” Some confessed to having already picked this pasta up, while others said they’d definitely be getting some. Reddit was equally enthusiastic. When u/CookieButterLovers posted the product’s image in r/traderjoes, respondents proclaimed, “After the sweet corn ravioli, I’ll try any TJ’s ravioli,” I really want to try this, with some olive oil and Parmesan cheese,” and, “I might try this pan fried with chili garlic crisp.” Clearly, some have already imagined themselves digging into this dish. 

If you have ever paired roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, you realize that this is a match made in epicurean heaven. Perhaps, Trader Joe’s has devised the perfect way to overcome your loathing of this otherwise adorable little sprout.
