Amortization is the gradual repayment of a debt over a period of time, such as monthly payments on a mortgage loan or credit card balance. To amortize a loan, your payments must be large enough to pay not only the interest that has accrued but also to reduce the principal you owe.
Freeze the zucchini until ready to use. Blanched zucchini can be frozen for 9 to 14 months depending on how airtight the seal is and how cold the freezer is kept. After thawing out the zucchini, use it within 3 days and do not attempt to re-freeze it.
Freeze until solid. Put the whole baking sheet of zucchini in the freezer to freeze overnight. Transfer the frozen zucchini to freezer bags or containers. Lift the corners of the baking mat to dislodge the zucchini, then gather them into bags or containers. Label and date the containers, and freeze for up to 3 months. The zucchini will technically keep longer than 3 months, but freezer burn will gradually affect the flavor and texture of the zucchini.
