Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Chop the ends off the zucchini and grate it using a box grater.

In a bowl, add the grated zucchini, eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar, and mix until well incorporated.

Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix well.

In another bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until well incorporated, but do not overmix.

Grease an 8-inch by 4.5-inch loaf pan.

Divide the batter among the greased loaf pans and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake the bread at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes.

Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
