Once your beans are frozen solid—give a bean a gentle tap; if it sounds like a tiny marble, you’re golden—it’s bagging time. Grab a freezer zip-top bag and try to suck out as much air as possible. Air is the enemy of frozen green beans. It causes freezer burn, which tastes like regret and smells like a wet sock.
Use a straw if you’re fancy, or just push the air out with your hands while making dramatic “whoosh” noises. Pro tip: Write the date on the bag in permanent marker, because in three months, every frozen bean looks exactly the same and you will have no clue if they’re from March or last decade.
