Tempura Vegetables with Tempura Dipping Sauce

This vegetable tempura recipe showcases fresh green beans, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, asparagus, carrots, and zucchini wrapped in an ultra-light, crispy tempura coating. Made with ice-cold seltzer, cornstarch, and just enough flour to create a delicate crunch, the batter fries up beautifully without feeling heavy. Paired with a flavorful dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, green onions, brown sugar, and sesame oil, every bite balances crisp texture with savory, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavors. Inspired by traditional Japanese tempura techniques, this recipe is simple enough for home cooks while delivering restaurant quality results that are perfect for entertaining or enjoying as a satisfying vegetable-forward dish.
