Prepping Veggies for Freezing

Here is what I know about freezing veggies:

  • Prepping them can mean cooking or cutting. Very few veggies cut well after frozen.
  • Peas, beans,broccoli, cauliflower, and peppers can be frozen without cooking but need to be cut.
  • Carrots & corn taste better if they are blanched before freezing.
  • Pumpkin needs to be cooked and pureed before freezing.
  • Zucchini can be shredded (grated) and frozen. I try not to freeze tomatoes unless I have made them into salsa or marinara sauce.
