Instructions
Open your can of tomato paste and place the silicone mat on the baking sheet. Measure out the tomato paste, one tablespoon at a time, and place it on the silicone mat until there’s no remaining paste.
Place the baking sheet and tomato paste dollops in the freezer for about 2 hours or until the tomato paste is frozen solid. Place your frozen paste into an air-tight container that’s freezer safe so it’s ready for future use.
