Despite the fact that the harvesting of vegetables for future use begins at the end of summer, I want to share now a useful recipe - frozen zucchini. Since many housewives stock up on similar blank recipes in advance. Zucchini is often found among the frozen variety of vegetables, because this vegetable suits many dishes and rightfully belongs to dietary products. I note right away that the frozen vegetable is slightly different in taste from fresh fruits. Therefore, frozen zucchini is usually not eaten as an independent dish, but is added to all kinds of dishes. Different dishes are prepared from frozen fruits, as from fresh vegetables: from fried zucchini to casseroles. But especially with them it is delicious to eat fresh homemade pizza in the winter season. Therefore, I will tell you how to prepare zucchini for this particular dish - Italian pizza.
… For freezing, choose young immature zucchini fruits of light green color. For older fruits, you will need to first remove the seeds and peel the skin. If the zucchini is very overripe, with fibrous pulp, then these are only suitable for stewing. You can freeze pizza squash raw or pre-fried. I prefer to add fried pizzas to pizza. Therefore, I will tell you a recipe for how to freeze pre-fried zucchini for pizza.

Step by step preparation of frozen zucchini for pizza, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the squash and dry it with a paper towel. Cut off the ends and cut the flesh into large strips. The slicing method is not important though. If you want to see zucchini in the form of rings or cubes in pizza, then cut them in this way. If the skin on the zucchini is very hard, then carefully cut it off, also remove the large seeds. Usually dense peel and large seeds in mature old fruits.
2. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat. Add the zucchini and fry them over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Season them with salt and fry until golden brown. Frozen zucchini has a soft and watery texture. Therefore, during frying, it can "shoot" and turn into a soft, incomprehensible mass. To prevent this from happening, place the zucchini in one layer in the pan. And it is desirable that there is a small distance between the pieces.
4. Blot the fried zucchini with a paper towel so that it takes away excess fat and put them on a board covered with cling film. Send them to the freezer until completely frozen. Then put the frozen pizza zucchini in a special portion bag and store in the freezer.
Note: Remove zucchini for freezing from the bushes before the first frost, because frozen fruits are not suitable for storage. Frozen zucchini in this way is perfect not only for pizza, but also for soups, stews, caviar and other dishes.
