Yes, but zucchini is not something you can substitute for potatoes one-to-one, so you'd have to adjust the recipe to compensate. Google "zucchini kugel", lots of good recipes that are already tailored for zucchini instead of potatoes.

This. You can NOT substitute zucchini for potatoes in a potato kugel recipe, but you can look for a good zucchini kugel recipe. I have also experimented with a potato-and-zucchini kugel concept that tasted good (using about half potatoes made the taste lighter than a fully-zucchini kugel, but using half zucchini made the carbs lighter) but I don't recommend it unless you find a recipe; mine still needed a bunch of work (the texture was not what I had in mind)

You can try the kbd cauliflower mock potato kugel. If I recall correctly it uses just a potato or two and the rest is cauliflower.

Thank you for all the help and suggestions. I'm having company that can't eat potatoes or flour. But I've noticed that all the zucchini kugel recipes have flour in them. Maybe I'll skip the kugel idea. I'm making a few other roasted vegetable side dishes and figured a kugel would be a nice addition.

if you drain the zucchini, you don't have to add a lot of flour, and perhaps you can get away with an alternative flour when dealing with a smaller quantity (such as corn starch).
another good kugel alternative is chopping frozen vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, or both), adding sauteed onions, eggs, salt and pepper.

Go for cauliflower instead. With no flour, it will have a better texture than zucchini. You can steam it a bit, then smash it and mix with eggs and spices like any other kugel, then bake. Should be good!

Zuchinni can be very watery and that's why you need the flour in the recipe. I have a wonderful zuchinni kugel recipe that tastes almost exactly like potato kugel but it has lots of flour in it. The only kugel I know of that doesn't use flour at all is broccoli kugel with eggs and mayo.
Alternately, you can use a bit of cornmeal or oats in other kugels (including cooked, mashed zuchinni kugels) that require small quantities of flour as a binding ingredient.
