How to Freeze Onions
Description
To freeze onions, start by peeling and chopping one or more whole onions to the desired size. Place the chopped onions into freezer-safe bags or containers suitable for long-term storage. Seal tightly and place in the freezer where they can be kept for up to three months. When needed, portions of frozen onions can be broken off directly from the block without needing to thaw the entire amount.
An alternative technique involves flash freezing the chopped onions on a baking sheet for one hour before transferring them to storage containers. This prevents the pieces from sticking together, making it easier to grab individual portions later. Frozen onions retain much of their flavor and can be used in cooked dishes straight from the freezer without thawing.
