Cubanelle peppers are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Place them in a plastic bag or container in the crisper drawer. Avoid washing the peppers before storing, as moisture can cause them to spoil more quickly. When stored properly, cubanelle peppers can last for up to a week or two in the refrigerator. For longer storage, they can be pickled or frozen after blanching.
