Removing Excess Moisture from Zucchini Before Freezing?

How do I dry zucchini after blanching and before freezing? I've tried blotting and air drying. After freezing, the zucchini gets icy from all the moisture.

Try just slicing and freezing straight from the garden. After 60 yr of freezing foods, I was told just this summer (too late for me to try) to avoid all the water in squash, do not blanch. Wash the whole squash, slice and freeze.

I put it in a strainer with very small openings to drain, that does the trick for me.

You can use a strainer to drain and then gently squeeze more moisture out. :-)
