How to freeze green peppers 
Work with ripe peppers. 
The peppers should be deep green and have a firm texture. 
Use peppers that are as fresh as possible.

OPTIONS:
[1]. Peppers harvested directly from your garden work best, but you can also buy them at the store as long as you choose peppers that are in good shape. If you cannot freeze the green peppers immediately, refrigerate them temporarily and freeze them within a day.
[2]. Blanched or blanched green peppers have a neutral texture, and they are heavy on starch. They do not contain bacteria, so they are fresh and prime for freezing.
[3]. If they're still soft when you pick them out, they won't come out well. Check the bottom of each pepper shell to see if they have been properly frozen.
[4]. Avoid peppers with a yellowed or rotten finish, or that are dry to the touch. If you freeze green peppers, you'll end up with purple flesh and lack of color, which can cause a lot of health problems when freezing.
[1].
