HOW TO FREEZE GREEN BEANS WITHOUT BLANCHING

Steps:

• Wash green beans if needed and dry completely. (See Notes below)
• Trim green beans ends and cut into 1 to 1-inch lengths (or desired size).

• Label with date and what's in the bag, place in freezer and freeze for up to a year.
• To Use: No need to defrost - use frozen and roast in a 450 degree oven for 5-8 minutes, long cook with bacon, or use in casseroles, soups, and stews all winter long.

EASY WAY TO FREEZE FRESH GREEN BEANS WITHOUT BLANCHING

Steps:

• Take a step back and admire your green beans because god damn, you're amazing, you just grew green beans!
• Trim the ends off both sides of green beans.
• Cut the green beans in half.
• Wash with water, making sure to get all dirt off them.
• Dry completely. Place on a cloth towel or paper towel, allowing to dry completely. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
• Place in freezer bags. I like to make 1 cup, 12 oz and 16 oz bags. Label the bag.
• Freeze them!
• Time to eat them? Depending on what you are making, defrost or place in boiling water/soup directly frozen.
