Freezing Breaded ZucchiniWhat to do with all the zucchini that your neighbors and friends give to you. I usually take a Sunday, or if I really have a lot to cook, what I do is break it up to a half day frying and another half day frying. Make sure you use a good skillet for this. I like to use my cast iron skillet.
