Oil-Free Cooking Basics: Sautéing Without Oil

A graduate of the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate Program, Mattis will teach you how to make delicious and easy meals without using any oil. In this class, we will cover how you can sauté vegetables without using oil, regardless of whether you own a non-stick pan or not. You will learn ways to up the flavours in other ways, using only whole plant foods. We will also touch briefly on why you would want to eliminate oil from what you are eating in the first place.

In the class project, you will create your own sauté or stir-fry, inspired by a cuisine, or a vegetable, that you love. Feel free to share any and all of the steps, from planning and shopping, to cooking and plating. I can’t wait to see what you will make!

This class is for anyone and everyone looking to eat more healthfully, and requires minimal equipment and experience. Everyone can learn to cook delicious and healthy food! You just need some nice fresh (or even frozen) vegetables that you like, a frying pan or a pot, and an open mind.
