Vegetable tempura used to be one of our favourite takeaway dishes, but because it’s typically deep-fried in a high calorie batter, it’s usually firmly off the menu on slimming plans. Not anymore! We’ve used panko breadcrumbs to keep it light, and a variety of crunchy fresh veggies. An ideal starter, side or accompaniment to so many dishes, this Baked Vegetable Tempura is full of healthy swaps and takes only 40 minutes!
Panko breadcrumbs are a lighter alternative to traditional blitzed bread, and we find they go a lot further, too. The Spiced Mayonnaise complements the crunch perfectly, but you could try a number of sauces, perhaps garlic mayo or even our delicious Sweet Chilli Sauce. Try out some flavour combos and let us know your favourite!

What can I use instead of egg with this batter?
Thanks.

Hey Franki, we haven’t tested this recipe with anything but egg however for some of our vegan recipes we use a dairy free milk alternative to stick breadcrumb coatings so you could try that. Hope that helps!
