So easy and healthier than regular fried foods. Try any vegetables, these are just my personal favorite for tempura. Itadakimatsu! (bon apetit!)

• Ready In: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1  cup water, COLD (its very important that it's cold!)
• 1  cup flour
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 1⁄3 cup  oil (1/2 may be needed)
• 1  medium eggplant, peeled and sliced in disks (about 8 pieces)

• 1  sweet potato, peeled and sliced into disks (about 8)

Directions

1. Mix the salt, flour, and water together until smooth and no lumps. (Use cold because it helps the batter/veggies absorb less oil).
2. Place in freezer.
3. Prepare vegetables by peeling and slicing.
4. Pour the oil into a pan and heat over medium heat.
5. When oil is hot, dip veggies in batter then oil.
6. Fry until lightly browned.
7. Do small amounts at a time. It will be less messy and much easier to manage.
