  • How do you freeze ghost peppers? 
  • You can freeze ghost peppers whole or chopped up. If you plan on using them cut or chopped up later on, it is best to do this as soon as possible and before you freeze them. This will allow them to thaw faster and stay fresher. To freeze them cut or chopped, you can put the cut peppers on a cookie sheet and stick them in the freezer until firm. Put the frozen peppers into freezer bags and seal tightly. Try to remove as much air as possible. It is best to use frozen peppers within nine months of freezing. Enjoy!
