Prevent food waste and save money, with this easy guide on how to freeze fresh herbs.
Print Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Ice-Cube Tray
- Knife
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh herbs
- 1 bottle olive oil or cooking oil of your choice
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the herbs you wish to freeze.
- Chop or mince your herbs into the size you prefer to use in your cooking – removing any thick woody stalks or stems that herbs such as rosemary tend to have.
- Take your ice-cube tray, and add a teaspoon of herbs per compartment. You can add more herbs per compartment, but I find adding a teaspoon of herbs helps with portion control when it comes to adding the herbs to your cooking.
- Pour a little oil over the herbs. Just enough oil to cover them is enough – you don’t need to fill the whole compartment with oil.
- Pop the herb-filled trays into the freezer.
- Once frozen solid, remove the cubes and store your herb cubes in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. I’d recommend labelling the container so that in a few months’ time you know exactly what is inside the container!
