How to Freeze Bell Peppers

Wash your pepper and place them upside down on the cutting board. Cut almost all the way through and then crack the sides apart.

This makes it easy to get the core and seeds out, with very little waste. Don't throw those tops and seeds away! Save them for your compost pile.

Use a spoon to scrape the ribs off the inside. Repeat until all your peppers are prepped.

Cut them up in whatever fashion you'd like. I chose strips since I can use them for fajitas, or chop them up smaller if needed.

Don't just dump them in a ziplok! If you do that now, they'll freeze in a giant lump. We're going to flash freeze them, so lay them all out on a cookie sheet or baking rack (which makes the freezing go faster). They can touch a bit, but don't pile them up.

After an hour or two, they'll be frozen solid.  There are a couple of ways to test this: look for ice crystals on the cut edges, or accidentally drop one and watch it shatter all over your clean floor.
