Freezing whole bell peppers is a small, silly victory in the war against food waste. It feels good to open your freezer and see a colorful platoon ready for action. You are not lazy; you are efficient.
Next time you see a sale on bags of peppers, buy them with reckless abandon. Wash, dry, freeze, and forget. Your future self, standing over a pot of soup at 6 PM on a Tuesday, will hug you. Or at least nod approvingly.
And if anyone judges you for freezing them whole? Just tell them you are “preserving the structural integrity for optimal stuffing potential.” That usually shuts them up. Now go freeze something.
