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

Carefully wash zucchini flowers and pat dry.

Prepare the batter by mixing flour, sparkling water, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Add herbs and lemon zest to the batter for flavor.

Heat olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

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

Carefully place the battered flowers in the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the flowers and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with salt and grated parmesan cheese while still hot.

Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
