Anything you need to know about delia's recipes Ask a question Freezing sprouts KEITH2's picture Asked on 20 Dec 2017 by KEITH2

Is it possible to freeze freshly bought Brussel Sprouts until needed for cooking.

Thank you Keith 2

Lindsey, Food Editor's picture Lindsey, Food Editor replied

Hello Keith,

You can freeze sprouts. They need to be blanched in boiling water for 3 minutes first, then cooled in icy cold water, drained well and dried with kitchen towel. Then freeze them flat on a lined tray until solid before transferring to freezer bags.

Kind regards

Lindsey
