To freeze okra for boiling, start by blanching the okra in boiling water for 3 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool completely. Once cooled, drain the okra thoroughly, and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze the okra on the baking sheet for 1-2 hours, or until they are firm. Finally, transfer the frozen okra to airtight freezer bags or containers, and return them to the freezer for long-term storage. Are you a fan of deliciously tender and flavorful okra, but worried about it going bad before you can use it all?
