Whenever bell peppers are on sale, I buy some, slice into strips and throw them in a baggie and keep them in the freezer. Just toss them in to whatever you’re cooking. I also buy a can of chipotle peppers in adobo and dump it into a freezer container. Whenever I want one or two (super hot!), I let it sit out for half an hour, pry a pepper and some sauce out, and put the container back in the freezer. Works great.

i freeze raw peppers all the time and never have problems with enzymes breaking them down – we get tons in the end of the summer from the family farm and i wouldn’t be able to use them all up if i didn’t
i cut the peppers up into short 0.5″ wide 1.5″ long sticks, lay them on a baking sheet covered in parchment and freeze until they are solid, then i pop them into a ziploc bag and do some more. it’s easy, (free for me!) and they are fabulous to throw in soups, stews, omelets, etc.

to freeze your own vegetables look up blanching. You have to cook vegetables and then freeze them or the enzymes continue to break down the vegetable.

I know this post was a while back, but you cant really freeze whole peppers and revive them. If you throw them in the freezer & then defrost them they become wrinkly and filled with water! Ew! Go wtih the frozen bag idea like Kath suggests!

Holly,
Our peppers came in a bag – I didn’t freeze them myself. But I’m sure you could.

hey — “frozen peppers”? Is there a way to freeze red or gold peppers that preserves them OK for later cooking (chili, etc?)

I’m experimenting with pre-chopped jalapenos in a small jar in the freezer door to make that a little faster, but wasn’t sure you could “revive” frozen larger peppers.

Great blog — so nice to see the photos with the recipes?

I am allergic to tomatoes but this looks so good what do you think I might be able to substitute in its place?
