Ingredients
- 2 zucchini
- 1 large pot boiling water
- 1 large bowl ice water
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini and cut them into 1/4 inch thick slices.
- Blanch the zucchini by first filling a large pot about 2/3 full with water. Bring the water to a full boil and toss in the zucchini.
- Let the zucchini cook for just one minute. Side note, do not add any salt as this will cause it to become mushy before freezing!
- Remove the zucchini from the water with a slotted spoon or skimmer and transfer to an ice water bath.
- Let the zucchini chill for 2 minutes in the ice water bath, then drain.
- Blot the zucchini dry with a paper towel and place on a baking sheet and place in the freezer.
- Freeze the zucchini for 1-2 hours. Once they're frozen, transfer them to a freezer safe storage bag and freeze for several months.
Notes
- To avoid freezer burn, it's best to use your frozen zucchini within 6 months.
