Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, and olive oil.

Combine the two mixtures and mix until smooth.

Set up a station with batter, oil, and a tray lined with paper towels.

Dip each zucchini flower in the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Place the battered flowers in the hot oil and fry for 2-5 minutes until golden and crispy.

For stuffed flowers, prepare a mixture of ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese.

Pipe the cheese mixture into the center of the zucchini flowers before frying.

Perform a crunch test to check for crispiness.
