Cooking without oil is totally doable — and it can actually make your food taste fresher and lighter! 🌱 Here’s how:
🔥 Ways to Cook Without Oil:
-
Sauté with water, broth, or wine: Heat a little liquid in the pan and stir your veggies like you would with oil. Add more as needed to prevent sticking.
-
Roast with parchment paper or silicone mats: Toss veggies with spices, spread them out, and roast — no oil needed for crisp edges!
-
Steam or boil: Great for veggies, grains, dumplings, and even delicate fish.
-
Bake using fruit purées: For baked goods, replace oil with applesauce, mashed bananas, or yogurt to keep them moist.
-
Air fry: Air fryers crisp food up beautifully with just hot circulating air — sometimes you don’t need any oil at all!
-
Grill or broil: Natural fats in foods like fish or marinated tofu help prevent sticking. Just use a clean, hot grill or broiler.
