Vegetables and Herbs
Just slice and dice your onions, chili peppers, and zucchini before placing them in Ziploc bags and storing them in the freezer. When you're ready to thaw them, just leave them out at room temperature for a few hours. This trick makes meal prep a breeze! You can also freeze fresh herbs in olive oil by placing them in an ice cube tray. Just add them to soups and stews for extra flavor.
