Can I freeze zucchini? If I can, how would I prepare it to freeze?
Thank you,
Lisa from Michigan
Preparation: Choose young squash with tender skin. Wash and cut in 1/2-inch slices. Water blanch 3 minutes. Cool promptly, drain and package, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Seal, label and freeze.
Grated Zucchini (for baking)- Choose young tender zucchini. Wash and grate. Steam blanch in small quantities 1 to 2 minutes until translucent. Pack in measured amounts into containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Cool by placing the containers in cold water. Seal, label and freeze. If watery when thawed, discard the liquid before using the zucchini.

For baking - grate and bag it. It will need to be drained before using. (08/04/2005)
