This is a great question. Did a little research online and found this recipe.
Baked Tempura Vegetables
Serves 5-6
1 yam, peeled and cut into thick matchsticks
2 cups broccoli, flowerettes cut into small chunks
2 cups button mushrooms, stemmed
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed of thick stalks
1 zucchini, sliced into 1/2" rounds
4 egg whites
2 cups panko crumbs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp vegetable seasoning
Nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9 x 15" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a shallow dish, beat egg whites with a fork. In a medium bowl, combine panko bread crumbs and vegetable seasoning. 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 egg whites then dip into the panko crumb mixture to coat.
Place the vegetables in a single layer in the prepared baking pan. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil. Bake for ~10 minutes or until vegetables are golden brown, gently stirring twice.
Serve with low-sodium soy sauce or other Asian sauce of choice for dipping.
