Spray a sheet tray (12X18) with kitchen pan spray, place a piece of parchment in bottom then spray that.
Shred zucchini, packing in cups to measure. Do not wring out liquid.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.

Notes

Adjust flour up or down by a quarter cup for a different texture. Reduce by a quarter cup for a softer, chewy bar or increase by a quarter cup for a more cake-like bar.
