I've heard that it's best to shred it, and then thaw to use in muffins and other baked goods. You'll need to eliminate some of the water in the recipe, too. You can always try freezing chopped zucchini, too. After all, frozen butternut is available, right? Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Jenn, Hi, Yes it can. you can cut it put in slices, then put it a good plastic bag, then freeze it, I only freeze it for one year. My mom used to freeze it all the time, when she had a garden. I have a good recipe with zucchini and corn ,and green chile ( if you have chile), and if you can have cheese, but one does not have to put cheese in the dish, . My mom made this for us, it is called calabacitas in Spanish. Nieves Jennster3 wrote: > Can Zucchini be frozen? > Jenn > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blanch, I just slice and put in plastic bags. I try to make it one or 2 serving size packs, so if I need some for a recipe ingredient I can usually just use a one serving sized pack. Some people blanch but I have found this not to be necessary, it doesn't get tough in the freezer. My sister uses a water pack, just freezes the veggie in water and that is okay too, but more work and takes more space in freezer. Hope this helps you.
