Directions
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.
2.
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.
3.
Bake, uncovered, in a 450 degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until vegetables are golden brown, gently stirring twice. Serve immediately with Honey-Mustard Sauce.
4.
Honey-Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl stir together 1 cup Dijon-style mustard and 2 tablespoons honey. Makes: 4 to 6 servings
