Notes

Grate your zucchini with a standard box grater. Place your box grater over a bowl to catch the zucchini shreads.
You do not need to peel the zucchini for zucchini bread! It will soften in the bread and add extra fiber and nutrients.
Make sure to squeeze water out of the zucchini for bread. Once you've grated zucchini, take a paper towel or clean dish towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Otherwise, you'll wind up with soggy zucchini bread.
