Can You Freeze Zucchini?
2. No Salt
It is not uncommon for salt to be added to the water when blanching foods. This is because it can help to give them more flavor when served, but you should avoid doing this when it is zucchini that is being blanched. Don’t add any salt at all, just leave the water plain as it is.

Salt in the water will be absorbed by the zucchini. This salt can then begin to break down the walls of the zucchini’s cells, and this can cause the vegetable to become mushy. You can always add the salt later if you so wish, so there is no need to add it before putting blanched zucchinis into the freezer.
