Submitted by Lakerdog2

"This is one of my favorite ways to have veggies. Totally kid friendly (just go easy on the hot sauce.) They come out incredibly crunchy. I love to use broccoli, cauliflower and carrots."

This was a bit of work, but I'm happy with it. I had to double the quantity of the crusting ingredients. The zip was right on for us, spicy but not too spicy. I used a chipotle-hot pepper sauce. We ate these as appetizers, and I used broccoli, sweet potato, mushrooms and green beans. I had to increase the oven time.
