Ingredients
- 5 pounds chopped onions
Instructions
- Chop onions into the desired size.
- Lay chopped onions evenly on a baking sheet. Do not let onions overlap. Ideally do not let the onions touch. When frozen individually, they will freeze best, and they will be best to use.
- You can place plastic wrap over the onions, and add another layer if desired.
- Wrap the baking sheet with onions with plastic wrap and place it into the freezer.
- When the onions have frozen completely, divide onions into small portions. I like to freeze mine in 1 and 2 cup portions.
- Place chopped onions into small plastic bags. Date the plastic bags and put the bags into the freezer.
- Frozen onions are best used within 3 to 4 months.
