Freezing

To freeze roasted swede, allow it to cool completely. Portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Frozen roasted swede is best used within 2-3 months for optimal quality. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven. While texture may soften slightly upon thawing, the flavor remains excellent for casseroles or purees.
