Sometimes it’s just so hard to bypass all those fabulous fresh veggies under your nose that we end up wondering what to make with them.

  • capsicum ( bell peppers)
  • baby spinach leaves

Cut Veggies The Same Thickness

When preparing the vegetables try to cut all of the vegetables roughly the same thickness, this ensures that the vegetables all take roughly the same time to cook.

Using a mandolin is a great way to quickly cut vegetables such as sweet potato, zucchini, carrot, and onion so they’re all the same thickness.

FAQs

Why is my zucchini slice soggy? ›

Mushy zucchini slice is caused by excess liquid in the mixture, or by too little flour being added. Be sure to measure the ingredients accurately. Due to the high water content of zucchini, the slice can become soggy and mushy if too much grated zucchini is used.

Can I freeze zucchini? ›

While freezing zucchini is a great way to extend its life, it's not as simple as just popping a few squash into your freezer. Raw zucchini gets weepy and watery after thawing. To effectively save it, you should chop and blanch it first. This helps set the texture and color and makes it last longer.

How do you keep zucchini crisp when cooking? ›

The secret to zucchini with the best flavor and texture is roasting it in a 450°F oven. Roasting zucchini at a high temperature instead of baking or sautéing helps develop browning and a slight char on the outside, which keeps it from getting soggy.

How to sauté zucchini without making it soggy? ›

Give the zucchini slices a light pan fry, stopping as soon as the outsides begin to turn golden. You'll be left with a nice, lightly crisp exterior, without the interior becoming soggy. Be patient as you sauté.

Can you just slice zucchini and freeze it? ›

Save your summer zucchini for the winter by chopping it up and freezing it.

Do you really need to blanch zucchini before freezing? ›

Yes, you can freeze zucchini without blanching it first. However, if you blanch it first, it will help deactivate the enzymes that can make it more mushy and discolored. The thawed zucchini may be less than ideal.

What happens if you don't blanch zucchini before freezing? ›

Because of the high water content in zucchini, it won't keep its firm texture through the freezing and thawing process, blanched or not. This is why I skip over the blanching step that many others recommend.

How to fix a soggy zucchini slice in the oven? ›

This is a common kitchen mishap, especially when trying to make tastier versions of your favorite vegetable dishes, like roasted zucchini chips, fries, or spears. The good news is, there's a simple fix to this problem: Using a baking rack.

How do you dry sliced zucchini? ›

If dehydrating zucchini chips raw, then slice them thinly. Season as previously described, or dry them without seasoning. Place in a single layer directly on mesh dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for 8–10 hours.

How do you keep zucchini from getting soggy when frozen? ›

Shred zucchini using a food processor or a boxed grater. Wring out as much moisture as possible using a cheese cloth. It's best that you do this BEFORE freezing to prevent a mushy mess after thawing. Measure and store zucchini in 1 cup portions in 1-quart freezer safe bags.

Why is my zucchini floppy? ›

Over/underwatering and nutrient lack cause droopy squash leaves. Adjust water and fertilize. Environmental stress and pests also lead to droopiness. Monitor and modify conditions.
