Veggie Prep Shortcuts
Fast ways to wash, cut, and store vegetables so they're ready when you are.
Batch Chop with a Food Processor: Slice carrots, celery, onions, peppers—all at once. Store in jars or freezer bags.
Freeze Caramelized Onions: Cook big batches, freeze in tablespoon portions for quick flavor bombs.
Pre-Wash and Jar Lettuce: Romaine and greens stay crisp 5–7 days in mason jars lined with a paper towel.
Fresh Herbs in Oil: Freeze chopped herbs in olive oil in ice cube trays for sautéing.
