How to Freeze Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are highly freezable, which is awesome since they have a short “life” in the refrigerator.
Here are the steps to freeze your Brussels sprouts.
1. Wash the sprouts.
2. Remove the outer leaves and stems.
3. Boil for four minutes. You are blanching them, not cooking them all the way through.
4. Lay the Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet and pat them dry.
5. When the Brussels sprouts are fully dry, place the tray in the freezer.
6. When the Brussels sprouts are frozen, transfer into an airtight container. Put them back in the freezer.
7. Consume within six to nine months.
When you’re ready to cook the Brussels sprouts, do not thaw them first or else they’ll be mushy. Roast them immediately!
You can also freeze roasted Brussels sprouts. Just toss into an airtight container, after they’ve cooled, and enjoy pithing six to nine months.
