How do I freeze zucchini - KitchenAid KFP760 12 Cups Food Processor

The best way to freeze zucchini is to blanch it first. This allows it to stay firm and green in your freezer bags, while locking in nutrients.

• Wash your zucchini and remove tops and any bad spots.
• Cut zucchini into slices or strips.
• Bring a pot of water to a full boil. Add the zucchini to the water. Leave in for 1 minute only.
• Quickly remove it, and plunge it into a bowl of ice water. This keeps it from becoming limp and will stop the blanching process.
• Pat dry until no water remains on zucchini. Excess water causes freezer burn and frost inside your bags.
• Store in freezer bags according to size you want, making sure that all air is pressed out of the bag before sealing.
• Mark bags with date, and you are done.
