Baked Veggie Tempura

 

This is a followup to yesterday’s post for the Baked Shrimp Tempura.  The tempura mix I am using in this recipe is different from the one I used for the shrimp.

If you have never had Peas of Mind, you should give them a try.  They are not just for kids.  My favorite is the cauliflower fries and I used them for this recipe.

Feel free to use your favorite veggies.

If you don’t use, the cauliflower fries, potatoes, sweet or regular, then the PP value will drop to 4 PP per serving.

  1. This looks like something I could make using my farm share fat carrots on my Benriner with the “wide tooth comb” type blade. I’ll keep it in mind when the spring deliveries start (can you tell I’m missing my weekly farm share produce box?).

    Thanks!
