Frozen Basil Cubes for Meal Prep

Instructions:

1. Wash the basil leaves under cool water and thoroughly dry them using a salad spinner or paper towels to prevent ice shards.
2. Tear the leaves from the woody stems and roughly chop them using a chef's knife or by pulsing a food processor 3-4 times.
3. Spoon the chopped basil evenly into a silicone ice cube tray.
4. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over each cube, then drizzle olive oil over the top until the leaves are completely submerged.
5. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours until solid.
6. Pop the frozen cubes out of the tray and transfer them into a freezer-safe zip-top bag, squeezing out as much air as possible.
