And I am terrible at chopping Report Spam or Abuse RE: Freezing Green Peppers Post By debbie (Guest Post) (02/03/2006) you can freeze both. just lay wax paper on a cookie sheet. place your chopped veggies on the paper and place in the freezer. when thoroughly frozen, remove from the wax paper and place in a freezer baggie or other container. when you need to use them, there's no need to thaw, just throw into whatever your're cooking and add a few min. to the cooking time. remember however that they must be used in cooked recipes b/c once they're frozen they will be a little soft, so you could not use them in like a salad or salsa or anywhere you'd want them fresh or raw or crunchy.

I simply chop them up how I like and put in a zipper type bag and remove all the air I can. If you have time it is handy to spread them on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until frozen, then place in a zipper bag. It is so handy to have chopped onions and peppers in the freezer for a quick meal ingredient.
