Freezing

Roasted shallots can be frozen for longer storage. Allow them to cool completely, then portion them into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. For best quality, consume within 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or gently reheat from frozen in a low oven or skillet.
