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.
