Equipment
- heavy duty freezer bag or other freezer safe container
- knife
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers any variety (garden, English, mini, or any other cucumbers will work great!)
Instructions
- Wash the outsides of the cucumbers and use a towel to dry them off. You can peel the cucumbers if you prefer that, but I like the skins on.
- Dice or slice the cucumbers into even slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Lay the cucumber slices in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Set in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
- Transfer the frozen cucumber slices to an airtight freezer bag, then return them to the freezer.
