Ingredients
- zucchini (choose only fresh zucchini as soft or wrinkled zucchini will not freeze well)
- boiling water
- ice water
Instructions
- Slice, dice or shred the zucchini, according to how you plan on using it. (When I'm freezing zucchini to add to soups/stews or to puree for soups and sauces I dice the zucchini. If I'm freezing it to use in muffins or zucchini bread I shred it.)Bring a large pot of water to a boil.Fill a large bowl with water and ice cubes.Carefully dump the zucchini in the pot of boiling water and cover with the lid. Immediately set the timer for 2 minutes. For shredded zucchini set the timer for 1 minute.Once the time is up immediately pour the zucchini in a colander.Immediately after pouring the zucchini in the colander to drain, plunge the zucchini in the ice water bath. Let it cool in the ice bath for 2 minutes.Drain the zucchini again.
- Lay the zucchini out in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and blot with paper towels.Place the baking tray in the freezer and freeze for 1-2hours or until the zucchini is frozen.Remove the zucchini from the tray and place it in freezer bags or containers.Label and date. The zucchini will keep in the freezer for 6-8 months.
