We're sharing everything you need to know about how to freeze tomato paste. From the simple steps to keep tomato paste good for a long time to common questions about freezing it, here's how to save store-bought or homemade tomato paste like a pro!
Portion: Onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet, make 2 Tbsp-sized mounds of tomato paste.
Freeze: Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer safe container for storage up to 6 months. Always label your bag with the contents and date!
Usage: When you need it for a recipe, you can often just throw the frozen mound into the pot (especially if it's a soup or sauce). Otherwise, thaw on the counter or briefly in the microwave before incorporating into your recipe.
