Instructions

Freeze Cut Peppers:
- Start with clean, dry peppers. If using hot peppers, you may want to wear gloves to protect your hands.Slice or dice peppers. If desired, remove and discard (or compost) the seeds and membrane.Arrange the peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet or tray and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Freezing on a tray will help the peppers stay separated after freezing. It's fine if the peppers overlap a little.
- Once frozen, move the peppers to a freezer-safe container.Peppers can later be used in recipes as usual.
Notes
- Recipe amounts approximate. Yield will vary based on how many peppers are used.
