Brussels sprouts have long been one of our very favorite veggies to serve as a simple, satisfying side dish. And now, with Trader Joe’s Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts, they’ve quickly climbed to the top of our list for sweet, spicy, and saucy side dishes, too! This addition to our refrigerated case is made for us with whole Brussels Sprouts, roasted to a tender, toothsome texture, and are tossed in a zesty, full-flavored sauce made with a mix of hoison, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. The flavors are big and complex, but never overpowering—in other words, an ideal side for a hearty entrée. While the flavors are complex, preparation couldn’t be simpler. Ready in just three minutes in the microwave (or about 20 in the conventional oven), these Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts represent a consumately convenient way to add a tasty veggie to a weeknight dinner, or get your meal prepping done for the week ahead. With their well-balanced blend of spicy and sweet, they’re great companions to all kinds of savory proteins—we’re especially partial to pairing them with one of our pre-marinated options, like our Sesame Teriyaki Beef Skirt Steak, or something vegan and filling, like our Sriracha Flavored Baked Tofu.
