In the above picture I process about 8 ounces of fresh basil leaves and a 1/2 cup of olive oil. Then I spooned it into the tray. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze. Once frozen pop the herbs out of trays and place in a freezer bag or freezer safe, air tight container. I use olive oil because when adding basil to a recipe, I'm typically adding olive oil as well. However, if you'd rather not use oil, pour a tablespoon of water into each section of tray, process basil or fresh parsley, spoon into trays, cover with plastic wrap and freeze.
