Ingredients

1 cup carrot, sticks

1 cup broccoli, 1 1/2-inch florets

1 cup string beans

1 cup button mushrooms

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 large egg, beaten

6 sprays cooking spray

2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

2 tsp seasoned rice wine vinegar

3/4 tsp prepared wasabi paste

1 tsp minced ginger

1/2 tsp minced garlic

1 medium scallion, chopped for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. (Or cook at 450°F on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.)

Place vegetables and flour in a large zip-close plastic bag; shake well (or toss in a covered bowl).

Combine panko and salt in a shallow dish. Beat egg in a second shallow bowl. First dip each vegetable in egg and then dredge in panko; turn to coat and place on prepared baking sheet (leave space in between - if necessary, use a second baking sheet). Lightly coat vegetables with cooking spray; bake until well-browned, 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.

While vegetables cook, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, wasabi paste, ginger and garlic; garnish with scallions and serve with vegetables.
