shred, measure 2 cups into a ziploc, label and freeze. Perfect for zucchini bread or chocolate zucchini cake. Started making some bags of chunks- for stews, etc. Nothing like veggies in the middle of winter that bring back memories of summer!

I learned long ago that if I had questions like this, I'd go to the grocery store and check out the frozen food areas. Different stores have different products, the most expensive ones have the biggest variety of special foods.
And like asking this forum, which I didn't have as a young mother, I'd learned to go to the oldest women I knew and asked them to share their ideas with me. Learned a lot like that.

I forgot to say that I do freeze squashes...you just slice or chunk, put in a bowl of salt water for 10 minutes, then lay them out on a wax paper lines cookie sheet and pop in the freezer..when frozen put in a ziploc bag..Great for veggie casseroles....

Well thanks for all the answers. I did slice some and put in qt. freezer bags for Italian zucchini soup at a later date -which we had last night and tonite also. We love it. p.s. I did ask the oldest woman I know -my mom- and she said "Yuck, zucchini! Who would eat that?"

I learned to make pasta primavera in Italy and it would be nothing without the zucchini in it!
It also makes great faux fries..peel and julianne then place on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet, spray with olive oil( I use a spritzer with my flavored oil), sprinkle with a touch of sea salt and pepper and back on 450 for about 20 minutes...great if you add some sweet potato fries as well...
