1 1/2 cups shredded uncooked zucchini
1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp table salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 11 x 7–inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, stir together zucchini, sugar, and salt; let stand 5 minutes (there should be liquid pooling at the bottom of the bowl).
Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir oil, vanilla, and egg into zucchini mixture. Stir in flour mixture (batter will be thick). Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake at 350°F until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 22 to 25 minutes.
Using parchment paper, lift brownies out of pan; cool on a wire rack. Cut into 15 pieces.
