Can I freeze jalapeño peppers? Do you have any methods or suggestions for how to do so?
Yes, peppers can easily be frozen and they don't need any pre-treatment.
Tips for freezing peppers
- You can remove the seeds before freezing to make them ready to use. The peppers will be softer when thawed, so it will be harder to remove seeds afterward.
- Be sure to package them well to avoid the pepper flavoring impacting your other frozen foods and freezer burn.
- Handle the peppers with gloves!
