How to Freeze Onions

August 17, 2011 By Jackie 8 Comments

I harvested about 25 onions from my garden this year. None of them were very big, so I decided to chop them up and freeze them.

I started by removing the outer skin. Then I quartered the onions and chopped them in my food processor. This process literally brought me to tears. 🙂

I put the minced onions onto a plastic wrap lined cookie sheet and stuck it into the freezer. I could have also put them into ice cube trays to freeze them.

When the onions were frozen I broke the frozen onions into pieces and put them into a gallon freezer bag.

Because I chopped up all of the onions at once, adding minced onions to my recipes will be a breeze. Have you ever frozen onions?

    Jackie, I have never tried to freeze onions before, but now I will have to give it a try!

      I think it will be a big time saver. I have also frozen chopped celery and has been helpful.

    Hi Jackie, I have frozen onions many times. It is a big time saver. I also chop green peppers and freeze them. Then I take and combine some green peppers and onions and freeze them in another bag together. So this makes for easy quesadillas, omelets etc…By the way, I like your blog setup 🙂

        Thank you so much, Katie! I appreciate the vote of confidence. I have been trying to tweak things ever since I switched to wordpress. I am always open to suggestions if you ever have any. 🙂
