In fact I usually end our garden season with enough frozen zucchini to last through the winter. So if you&rsquo;re wondering if you can freeze zucchini the answer is YES and I&rsquo;m here to show you how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-frozen-zucchini\">Benefits of Frozen Zucchini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of fresh zucchini also applies to frozen zucchini. Zucchinis are a low carb vegetable that is also high in nutrients. In particular it is a great source of <strong>fiber<\/strong>, <strong>vitamin A<\/strong> and the antioxidants carotenoids &mdash; including <strong>lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zucchini doesn&rsquo;t have much flavor so it&rsquo;s perfect for adding to sweet recipes for an added nutritional punch or to sauces and soups since they won&rsquo;t affect the flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-freeze-sliced-zucchini\">How to Freeze Sliced Zucchini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Freezing zucchini is fairly easy though it does require the extra step of blanching to preserve flavor and texture.

Freeze on a sheet pan and then store in a large ziplock or freeze bag.
