Ingredients
- 1-3 bunches green onions
Instructions
- Cut Green Onions: Cut the green onions into desired lengths and place them in a freezer-safe plastic container or bag. Freeze for 1-2 hours until the onions become firm. Toss them to separate into individual pieces and return to the freezer for storage.
- Whole Green Onions: Cut the bunch in half so that the green onions fit easily in the storage container. Place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2-3 months. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature and then cut into pieces as needed.
Notes
- Frozen green onions can be used directly in cooked dishes like soups, stews, frittatas, and casseroles without thawing.
- For best texture and flavor, use frozen green onions within 2-3 months.
- Avoid freezing green onions in water to prevent sogginess.
- Ensure green onions are dry before freezing to reduce ice crystal formation.
