For best results, squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the shredded zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will prevent the bread from becoming soggy. Feel free to add a lemon glaze to the cooled bread for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Simply whisk together powdered sugar with lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
