Instructions
Take a step back and admire your green beans because god damn, you're amazing, you just grew green beans!
Trim the ends off both sides of green beans.
Cut the green beans in half.
Wash with water, making sure to get all dirt off them.
Dry completely. Place on a cloth towel or paper towel, allowing to dry completely. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
Place in freezer bags. I like to make 1 cup, 12 oz and 16 oz bags. Label the bag.
Freeze them!
Time to eat them? Depending on what you are making, defrost or place in boiling water/soup directly frozen.
