Instructions

  • Freezing Shredded Zucchini Without Blanching
  • Select young zucchinis in good shape, wash and slice off the ends.
  • Cut into sections 5 inches long, then cut those in half lengthwise.
  • Using a spoon scoop out the seeds and discard.
  • Shred the chunks of zucchini using a food processor or cheese grater.
  • Measure into freezer bags in 2 cup portions.
  • Freezing Sliced Zucchini Blanched
  • Select young zucchinis in good shape. Wash and slice off the ends.
  • Then slice into rounds or chunks 1/2 an inch wide.
  • Drop into boiling water for 3 minutes to blanch. Then remove and cool in ice water.
  • Drain and place the slices on a tea towel to pat dry. When fully dry pack into freezer bags or containers.

Notes

The sliced zucchini will stick together if there is any water left on them. If you have room in your freezer, flash freeze them by laying on a tray lined with parchment paper until they are frozen. Then package into bags or containers.
