In the Freezer: This recipe may keep airtight in the freezer for up to 2-3 months although I have not tested it and cannot say for sure if the zucchini will do well in the freezing/thawing process and how well (or not) these will stay intact. Taste will likely be fine but presentation could suffer. To Reheat: I use my microwave for quickness and ease and reheat my leftovers for about 20-30 seconds on high. They’re also fine without reheating them. Set them on the counter about 30 minutes before you plan to eat them and that’s enough to take the cold fridge chill off them which I prefer.
