Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups panko crumbs (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups cauliflower flowerets
  • 1 1/2 cups small fresh mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 31/2-inch strips
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 small red onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick and separated into rings
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 slightly beaten eggs
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
  • Honey-Mustard Sauce
  • 1 cup Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Preparation

Step 1

Coat a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl combine panko crumbs and salt. In a large bowl toss the vegetables in flour, shaking to remove any excess flour. Dip the vegetables, a few at a time, into the eggs, then into the panko crumb mixture to coat.

Place the vegetables in a single layer in the prepared baking pan. (Vegetables may be prepared ahead. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours.) Drizzle the vegetables with melted margarine.

Bake, uncovered, in a 450 degrees degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until vegetables are golden brown, gently stirring twice. Serve immediately with Honey-Mustard Sauce. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

In a small bowl, stir together Dijon-style mustard and honey.
