In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and walnuts (if using).

Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and bake at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

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