Can you freeze Bell Pepper?
Yes. Bell Pepper keeps 6–8 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
Peppers are one of the few vegetables you can freeze raw, with no blanching needed. Wash, core, and slice or dice them, freeze spread on a tray so they don't clump, then transfer to bags with the air pressed out. They keep 6–8 months. Use them straight from frozen; they lose their crunch, so they're best sautéed, roasted, or stirred into sauces.
