Can you use cooking spray instead of actual oil to bake/roast/broil veggies or other foods?

    You can also get a pump sprayer that works with regular olive oil. It would accomplish the same as buying PAM etc.

    I do this all the time. If you avoid holding the spray nozzle down forever, you will only have a very thin layer of oil, which is nice for something like broccoli that can easily soak up a ton of oil in the little green....nubs? I almost called them leaves. I find it more convenient. I usually just toss whatever I'm cooking in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-20 minutes and they usually come out great, but don't neglect salt and pepper.

    Quite agree the salt and pepper add a lot of flavour.

    That's what I do, it works a treat with parsnips - they are better for having less oil, I reckon.
