How to Freeze Green Peppers

07/31/14 | Uncategorized

I love to stock up on Green Peppers when they are on sale and free them for use in recipes throughout the year.   Check out these simple tips on How to Freeze Peppers.   

Green pepper

I love to buy peppers at the local  Farmer’s Market during the summer as it is a great way to stock up on produce at its peak freshness and the prices you get can not be beat! Plus you are supporting a local farmer so it is a win-win but I also buy them when they are on sale during the winter when I have run out of my stash in the freezer.


Buying them at the Farmer’s Market I can get a bushel of peppers for about  $10 and it takes me about 30 minutes to wash, cut and package all the peppers .

How to freeze green peppers

1.  Purchase peppers that are at their peak freshness.

2. Wash peppers in cool water and slice up into strips.

3.  Place them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes.  By putting them in a single layer it will prevent them from clumping together.

4.  Once partially frozen put them in a gallon Ziploc bag.

4. Your done and now you can enjoy farm fresh green peppers any time of year!

How to Freeze Green Peppers

Note:  If the peppers do end up clumping up in the ziploc bag you can just break them apart gently with your hands.  Also, I tend to freeze them in strips but you can also freeze them by slicing the tops off, removing the seeds and pith and then freezing them whole for stuffed peppers.

    I love this idea – beats using the bagged veggies for when I make fajitas!

    I had no idea you could freeze peppers! Although I’ve learnt so much about what you can freeze recently I’m running out of space in the freezer 😉

    Like Heather, I always buy them frozen in the freezer section. They can be pricey. Now I can freeze my own, and save a lot of money!

    Thanks so much for sharing this. It’s the first year we grew green peppers in our garden and we have so many! Now I know what to do with them.

    Great tips. I always freeze green peppers (even though I live in Florida). I like having them ready for recipes when I need them. I am going to try your tip about laying them flat first to keep them from clumping/freezing together.

    HI! Stopping by from Monday Madness 🙂 I love to have green peppers frozen to add to chili – I like to think of chili as an “instant meal” but having to stop and chop green peppers takes away from the instant-ness lol.

    I’m so glad I read this post! Everytime I freeze green peppers they would turn out mushy when thawed so I will try your tips.
    http://www.momsarefrugal.com I think would fit your posts would fit on Talk It Up Thursday! Thanks.

    I imagine this would work with red peppers too? They are on sale here this week, and I would love to freeze some for later use. Thanks for posting! I learned something new today 🙂
