Freezing Bell or sweet peppers is easy, quick, and convenient. First, wash your peppers and remove stems. Use a melon-baller to scrape out seeds and membrane. Dice, slice, or cut peppers into strips, depending on how you plan to use them. Freeze peppers in a single layer on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag squeezing out as much air as possible.
