1 tsp. salt

2 cups shredded zucchini

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 in. pan.

In a large bowl, mix oil, sugar, 2 tsp. vanilla until well blended. Combine flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into sugar mixture. Fold in zucchini. Spread into pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until brownies spring back when gently touched.
