Freezing Roast Veg

3 replies

I love roast veg but living alone it's time consuming and sometimes a waste to prepare from fresh for a single meal.

Looking for ways to freeze them up, to cut down prep time and save wastage.

Is it best to:

  1. Freeze them raw (after dicing)
  2. Blanch them and then roast in oven as normal after removing from freezer
  3. Roast them up front and freeze cooked.

I have tried blanching techniques - only with courgettes so far and they seem to come out very mushy, but that was for use in a pasta dish -maybe roasted they'd come out fine.

I always roast and then freeze, it works out fine. I do this with courgettes, peppers, aubergine, butternut, have even done it with mushrooms.

Defrost and then put back in the oven for 10 mins to heat through.

I freeze most raw veg and it works fine

I would prepare a large quantity, roast, eat some, leave the rest to cool, divide into portions, freeze. Best for fuel economy. I freeze leftover oven-roasted veg sometimes, and they've always been excellent on reheating.
