How to Freeze Spinach
You can do this with baby or full size spinach—both work equally well! (Nutrition will vary based on how much you use in any recipe.)
Servings: 8
Calories: 13kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fully washed and dried spinach
- zip top freezer bag (I prefer gallon size but you can do multiple quart bags if you like)
Instructions
- Add the spinach to the freezer bag, filling as full as you like.
- Press and remove as much air as possible. Seal
- Freeze fully overnight. If desired for easy measuring, crush frozen spinach leaves lightly in the bag
Notes
- Spinach can stay frozen for up to a year.
- Do smaller amounts of spinach if desired.
- Make sure that the leaves are fully dried to prevent ice crystals in the bag. (It's honestly okay if there are some though!)
- Use gallon or quart size freezer bags according to your preference.
- Use in any soup or pasta recipe or try in: Spinach Banana Muffins, Simple Green Smoothie, 2-Ingredient Banana Pancakes (with the Spinach Option), Pesto Pasta Salad, Spinach Pesto Pizza, and Baked Spinach Egg Muffins.
