Calories: 28kcal
Ingredients
- 5 lbs Carrots washed, peeled & sliced into rounds
- 3 lbs Celery washed & sliced
- 4 Onions yellow, sweet, white &/or red
Instructions
- Wash, peel and slice your vegetables.
- Lay them in a flat layer on a baking sheet and freeze for several hours.
- Break up pieces & assemble mirepoix by combining vegetables with a 2:1:1 ratio: 2 parts onion, to 1 part celery & carrots. I usually use cups, so I'll add 2 cups onion to a freezer bag, followed by 1 cup carrots & 1 cup celery. Seal bag and gently shake to mix. Repeat the layers until the bag is 3/4 full. Seal bag and gently shake to mix more evenly once more.
- Grab and use veggies as desired. Enjoy spending less time prepping dinner from now on!
Notes
I usually made 3 pan's worth- one pan each for onions, celery & carrots. Then, once frozen, they are combined using the 2:1:1 ratio into 3-4 freezer bags, ready to use in 6-8 meals total.
