Default Can You Freeze Peppers?



I love the local farmer's market(lucky me its right down the hill from where I work), and now is green/red/orange/yellow/ivory pepper season. I love making sauteed peppers & onions(using a little Pam butter spray & kosher salt) and with the prices of peppers now (4 for $1) I'd really like to store some for winter (price of peppers in the stores are $1.50-$2.00lb for red/orange).

Can I slice them up & freeze them, do peppers freeze well??


Thanks!

Here's an article that might help. I've always diced them before freezing and used them in chili, stir-fry dishes, etc. I doubt they would freeze well enough to be thawed and used in salads.

Yes, freezing peppers is fine. Wash them and slice them, put in zipper bags
trying to get as much air our as you can. Don't cook them first, they will
turn to mush when you try to cook them again. They will be perfect for stir
fry, soup, sauteing, crock pot or baked dishes when you take them out of the
freezer. Most of the time you don't even have to wait for them to thaw. They
should hold up well for 6 months to a year, depending on how cold your freezer
is and how often it's opened.
We eat a lot of peppers in our house but your right, rather pricey off season.
Freezing peppers is a good money saving and time saving tip

If I wanted to store peppers that I would eventually want to eat
sauteed, I would cook them first and then freeze the cooked food in
ziploc bags.

They'll be magic to cook with, but won't do in salads, alas....
