How to Easily Freeze Zucchini for Zucchini Bread

Zucchini can be frozen quickly without blanching. This is an easy way to freeze summer zucchini to use all winter for your favorite zucchini bread recipe. Freezing zucchini with this method can actually result in a moister zucchini bread.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Garden zucchini, any size.
• Potato peeler.
• Sharp knife.
• Measuring cup
• Freezer bags
• Bowl or plate to shred zucchini onto

1. Wash zucchini and cut the stem off of the zucchini.

2. Use a potato peeler or knife to peel the zucchini if you make your zucchini bread without the peeling. If you use the peeling in your zucchini bread, do not peel it.

3. Cut the zucchini lengthwise. Use a tablespoon or serving spoon to scoop out the seeds. Discard the seeds or save for roasting. Cut off any dark spots or defects the zucchini has before shredding.

4. Hold zucchini over a plate or bowl and shred the zucchini.

5. Measure the amount of zucchini you need for your zucchini bread recipe and place in freezer bag. Lay bag flat in freezer. Zucchini is now ready for your next batch of zucchini bread.
