FAQs & Expert Tips
FAQS
You can leave the skin on the zucchini, there is no need to peel them. Wash the zucchini, cut off the ends and then grate the entire vegetable. As far as carrots go, I recommend peeling them.
Cut the ends off of the zucchini, then slice it in half, and slice each half in half again vertically. Shred the pieces with a grater. If you shred it smaller, then you won’t even see it in the bread after it bakes.
Nothing goes better with Carrot Zucchini Bread than a nice hot cup of tea or coffee.

TIPS
- It’s important to squeeze out excess water from the grated zucchini before adding it to your batter. Zucchini naturally has a lot of water in it that becomes quite clear after grating it.
- Make sure to not overfill the bread pan, you need to give the bread room to rise as it bakes. If you fill it to the top, the bread will collapse when it bakes.
- If you want to use whole wheat flour, go for it.
- Use your favorite spices. If you love a little nutmeg, go for it and add it.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing it.

Leftovers
Let the loaf cool fully to room temperature, then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and then a layer of foil. This will last in the fridge for about 1 week or on the counter for 2 days.
How To Freeze
One of the reasons I love making quick breads is how perfectly they freeze and thaw back out. You can make a big batch of loaves, freeze them and take them out of the freezer as they’re needed. Let the loaf cool fully to room temperature, then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and then a layer of foil. This will last in the freezer for 6 months.
