Frozen Zucchini Question Answered…


After my last blog post I got a comment from Michelle asking about zucchini… 


How do you freeze zucchini? Do you grate it or keep it whole? Do you have any recipes on your website on using Zucchini? 


I freeze my zucchini by grating it first and then putting it into zip type baggies, label, date and freeze.  I put two cups of grated zucchini in each bag because that is typically how much is called for in most recipes.  If a recipe calls for more (like 3 cups) I will often just do the two cups and have not had a problem with that.   


You could also cube it up and freeze it and use it in soups.  It gets mushy and watery after freezing so you can’t eat it like you do when it is fresh.  But it works great in baked goods and soups.  


Here are some recipes that can use frozen zucchini:

Zucchini Bread: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/zucchinibread1.htm 


Zucchini Coffee Cake: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/zucchinicoffeecake.htm

I have other recipes on my site using zucchini but they tend to work better with fresh zucchini.

    I am so glad you posted this. Was in the freezer the other day noticed all my frozen bags of zucchini and thought I really must use it up. Thank-you

  4. May I suggest dehydrating about 1/4 in thick slices of zucchini and summer squash to use in soups and stews?? I've done this for the past 5 or so years and whenever I make a pot of soup or stew, I toss in a handful and simmer until tender. Delish and they don't get mushy either.
