Yes you can blanch brussel sprouts without blanching first. For years i blanched mine then a friend who had an allotment gave me a glut of brussels and told me just to wash and dry and then bag, They are better when cooked and taste good. I have been doing this for years now. I also do it with cabbage just cut up first and do the same wash etc. onions just slice - bag.

Water blanching time table for brussels sprouts heads:
Small - 3 minutes
Medium - 4 minutes
Large - 5 minutes
Be sure to give the veggies an immediate ice water bath after the blanching to stop the cooking process. Pat veggies dry if you are going to be freezing them and remove as much air from the freezer bag as possible because both help to reduce freezer burn.
