Shredded sprouts are wonderful stir fried on olive oil with coarse sea salt. I really like them stir fried in real butter, if I'm doing a dairy meal. Fresh ground pepper is a nice addition, too.

Mmmm, yes! THE best way to eat them. Though sadly I have found bugs in fresh sprouts. In my experience it goes batch by batch: if I get a good batch, they're usually all clean. But if I get a bad one, sometimes nothing is salvageable.

Bumping this. If you bought the frozen sprouts, do you bake whole or thaw and cut in half? Has anyone done both ways and see a difference?

Keep frozen. Keep whole if they're not too big.

I thaw and cut in half. When you keep them whole, they get really mushy inside.

I was so excited to to see them a few years ago and tried them once and they were very bitter. I roasted them in the oven with olive oil, garlic and salt etc. Maybe they were a different brand like bodek, not pardes? Are the pardes ones not bitter? I know what good brussels sprouts taste like because I grew up at a time before most people in the US (including all kashrus agencies) knew anything about bugs in produce (except for Romaine lettuce-- which people only used for Pesach. The rest of the year it was iceberg all the way Smile

) so fresh brussels sprouts were in my mother's regular rotation. And broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus too. Yum. hopefully the DDT that was probably still legal back then took care of it though Wink

I find frozen brussels sprouts dreadful. Too waterlogged; they never really crisp up. I only eat fresh, and yes, it's hard to find them non-infested but sometimes I do.

I think that's why people are saying they cut them in half and roast them.

the ones I bought a while ago came out crispy enough, they were just really bitter.

I really don’t like the pardes ones, I like the steamfresh or shoprite frozen brussel sprouts.
