I never realized how easy it is to flash freeze vegetables. I have frozen vegetables before but the only problem was that I was expecting to pull the bag out and watch as each individual vegetable fell out of the bag and into the pan. Unfortunately when I pulled out the bag to use it, it was just a big ball of iced vegetables clumped all together. ICK!
Flash freezing is what you can do to prevent that from happening and enjoy your frozen veggies in the same way you enjoy the store bought frozen veggies.
It’s SUPER easy to do and will save you from having to throw out veggies and fruit that you bought but never used.
All you need is:
Wax paper
Cookie sheets
Freezer bags
Fruits/Veggies
Knife
Cutting board
First, lay out your cookie sheet and place a piece of wax paper on it. This will prevent your veggies from sticking to the cookie sheet and allow you to easily remove them once they are frozen.
Then, cut up your vegetables and fruit. Slice and dice to your hearts desire.
Next, lay out your veggies on the wax paper covered cookie sheet in a single layer.
Place your veggie filled cookie sheet in the freezer and set a timer for about 30 minutes. (Depending on how you slice & dice and what vegetables/fruits you are using you may need to leave them in there a little longer.)
After that, go about your day until you hear the timer ding. If the veggies are fully frozen, remove them. If not, leave them in there until they are frozen.
Lastly, remove the frozen veggies/fruits from the cookie sheet and dump into a freezer bag. Be sure to mark your bag with the date.
Viola! You now have your very own bagged, frozen vegetables and fruits. 
Now you can feel free to buy the discounted fruit and vegetables from the grocery store (provided you flash freeze them before they go bad.).

thanks so much for this! I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before. I’m wondering about doing it to chicken breast? I started a link party at my blog and I’d love for you to link this up. If you’re interested it’s http://caribbeanmissionarywife.blogspot.com/ Have a lovely day, Maria
Oh yes, you could definitely do it with chicken breast. I will be sure to link up
Thanks Maria!
I do this with veggies, grated cheese, leftover homemade waffles, burgers (purchase large pack of meat and make patties) and more. It’s so easy. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I think this is my new favorite hobby!!
I can’t wait to try it with more than fruit and veggies!
My mom is all about freezing. EVERYTHING. I’m just now getting on the bandwagon so I’ll have to try this. Thanks!
You really should! It is so quick and easy
Great tutorial! I actually have a tray that’s dedicated to flash freezing and it is constantly in use. Thanks for linking up to Healthy 2Day Wednesday!
