This was very good, nice and crispy. I used carrots, cauliflower, and zucchini. Next time I might add some broccoli. I omitted the mustard sauce and used an Asian dipping sauce instead. Thanks for the recipe!

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. We've had it for dinner two nights in a row and both nights the veggies have disappeared from the kids plates. Last night I even had my 4 fussy nieces over at dinner time and THEY ate every bite and told me that my veggies were yummy, not like their mum's disgusting veggies. hahaha Thanks again for a new favourite xxx
