    I actually just throw a little water in the pan, rather than oil and "steam" them. Once they start to soften, I remove the lid and let the water cook off. It might sound bland, but it depends on what else you are doing with them.

    Yes! I'm going to get a steamer. I do a lot of stir-fry veggie meals and add sauces and dressings and whatnot, so I think I'm just going to cut out the need for olive oil entirely. Thanks everyone for your replies and insight!

    I stir fry with water. It works and when I make the sacue, it soaks up all the other sauces, tastes good and not watered down. The trick is to use the right amount of water. (I usually start with 1/4 cup for a skillet)

    I am pretty good now at dry frying. Certain things I will add absolute minimal amount of oil or use cooking spray instead.

    Log, it's 120 cal per tablespoon, it counts.

    I grill most of the year, and since I only oil the griddles I don't count that. I use a lot of spices to make food taste better.
