contents We present two deterministic algorithms to approximate single-qutrit gates. These algorithms utilize the Clifford + $\mathbf{R}$ group to find the best approximation of diagonal rotations. The first algorithm exhaustively searches over the group; while the second algorithm searches only for Householder reflections. The exhaustive search algorithm yields an average $\mathbf{R}$ count of $2.193(11) + 8.621(7) \log_{10}(1 / \varepsilon)$, albeit with a time complexity of $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-4.4})$. The Householder search algorithm results in a larger average $\mathbf{R}$ count of $3.20(13) + 10.77(3) \log_{10}(1 / \varepsilon)$ at a reduced time complexity of $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-0.42})$, greatly extending the reach in $\varepsilon$. These costs correspond asymptotically to 35% and 69% more non-Clifford gates compared to synthesizing the same unitary with two qubits. Such initial results are encouraging for using the $\mathbf{R}$ gate as the non-transversal gate for qutrit-based computation.
