Zucchini is a fairly versatile product due to its neutral taste. That is why you can cook almost any dish from it, even sweet ones.

However, when it comes to freezing vegetables, many people don’t understand how to do it without ending up with an unappetizing mess.

The main trick to prevent this from happening is that it is not recommended to freeze raw zucchini.

Therefore, it is best to cut the fruits in half, bake them and only then freeze them.

These simple manipulations will allow excess juice to escape, and the zucchini will be immediately suitable for eating after defrosting.
