How to Freeze Fresh Herbs and Store Them
1. Freeze herbs in a plastic bag. This is one of the simplest ways to freeze fresh herbs: Just wash and dry them, then place in freezer-safe bags. (h/t My Persian Kitchen)
2. Freeze herbs in ice cube trays. Besides making fruit-infused ice cubes, ice cube trays are also the perfect size for storing herbs. Chop herbs first, then place the cubes with a little water. (h/t The Garden Glove)
3. Freeze herbs in olive oil. Another smart idea is to freeze herbs in an ice cube tray using olive oil instead of water. According to The Kitchn, preserving “hard” herbs like rosemary, sage, and oregano with this strategy can prevent them from getting freezer burn. (h/t The Kitchn)
4. Freeze herbs in a K-Cup. Add this to the list of reasons to keep leftover Keurig cups on hand: They’re ideal for freezing smaller amounts of herbs (such as if you don’t have enough left over to devote a whole ice cube tray to them). (h/t Happy Hooligans)
5. Freeze herbs in a Parmesan cheese container. This is genius: Instead of throwing out a Parmesan container, Mom and More reused it to freeze green onions. The best part? When you’re ready to use the frozen herbs, you just shake out the amount you need. (h/t Mom and More)
