   Once you have packed the tupperware bowls with the peppers, fold and place a paper towel on top of the peppers in the bowl. The paper towel will absorb any moisture and help protect the peppers from freezer burn. Then, place the lids on the tupperware bowls and seal tight.

   Finally, place the bowls of peppers in the freezer. That's all there is to it. This is a fast and easy way to freeze green or red bell peppers and they will last a long time in the freezer. When you get ready to use them, all you have to do is set them out for a little while to thaw or if you're in a hurry, you can place the frozen bowl of peppers in a larger bowl of hot water to assist in the thawing.
