Freezing Zucchini

Adapted from The Purposeful Pantry

Freezing summer squash is easily the most accessible way to preserve zucchini and other summer squash for the year.

Some simple tips for freezing zucchini:

Squeeze zoodles and shreds before flash freezing. You want as much moisture out of them before placing them into the freezer to stop freezer burn and tissue breakdown.
Flash freeze first, then package up for freezing. Flash freezing is placing foods on a cookie sheet and freezing in a single layer before packaging up for long-term storage in the freezer
Use vacuum seal bags for better results in long-term storage. It helps reduce the effects of freezer burn.
