Frozen Herbs in Olive Oil
Sharing an easy, Mediterranean diet inspired trick to save fresh herbs for later use. Great if you're looking to reduce food waste.
Ingredients
- 10-12 tbsp Herb of Choice, chopped (see notes below on tips)
- 10-12 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Chop your desired herbs and place apprixmately 1 tablespoon of herb into the compartment of an ice cube tray
- Cover each compartment with 1-2 tbsp olive oil, just enough so entire herb is covered
- Cover ice cube tray and place in freezer to set. Make sure ice cube tray is laying flat
- Remove each cube and place in sealable container and store in freezer
- Remember to write name of each herb on container so you can identify later on
Notes
Softer herbs like parsley and dill don't really freeze well. Heartier herbs like oregano, thyme, sage and rosemary do well.
Feel free to make herb combinations (thyme and rosemary is a good one) by placing 1/2 tbsp of each into the same ice cube tray. Just remember to mark what type of herb is in each compartment for easy identification later on.
