Freeze on a tray: Spread strawberries out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper so they don’t touch. Freeze for 2–4 hours until solid.
Transfer to airtight containers: Once frozen, put the strawberries in freezer bags or vacuum-sealed containers. Remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
Label and store: Mark the date on your container, then keep it in the freezer for up to a year.
Tips to Keep Strawberries Fresh Longer
Avoid thawing and refreezing: Only take out what you need to keep the rest fresh.
Freeze in portions: Pre-portion strawberries for smoothies or baking to make it easier to grab what you need.
Use vacuum sealing: If you have a vacuum sealer, this is the best way to extend freezer life and protect flavor.
