    I usually use olive oil. Sesame oil is also good for Asian-inspired vegetable recipes.

    From your list my favorites would be olive oil and butter. Personally my favorites are olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, and peanut oil.

    I agree. Sesame oil is good for Asian inspire recipes. I also like to make infused oils with my favorite being basil oil.

    Bacon fat is my favorite. I also use butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and most recently avocado oil. I don't mind if the veggies dry out a bit, so I use a small amount that doesn't make a huge difference in the taste.

    Have you ever used pecan oil? It has a higher heat tolerance than olive oil, so it's good for a quick sear, and it tastes great in soups and salad dressings, too. If you're doing a large batch of veggies and you might use some for soup or cold on a salad, try the pecan oil. BTW, it's great for making pancakes with too, and cakes.

    We're huge on olive oils here- I tend to 'collect' gourmet olive oils. My favorite is a garlic rosemary olive oil over zucchini, summer squash, etc.

    I us avocado oil or olive oil. I have started mixing one or the other with a bit of safflower oil when grilled or sautéing.
