Vegetable tempura

Vegetable tempura is a healthy appetizer and an enjoyable way to get in your daily servings of veggies. We make this dish all the time and our kids love it, it’s a fun and easy way for them to eat their vegetables. We add a twist on the recipe by accompanying the tempura with three tasty, ready-to-eat dipping sauces instead of just your basic soy sauce.
