I eat the bulk of my veggies raw in salads, but i do like the egged &
floured mushrooms, zucchini, onion rings & etc. i may be using the term
"fry" loosely, i like to saute asparagus in butter and garlic, same with
green beans, bok choy, cauliflower (season with lemon juice) quartered
Brussels sprouts, fried cabbage, and of course, fried potatoes.

But like you i try to limit my intake of fried foods because i
understand it is not a healthy way to eat. But i do like it

I have taken to making my fried chicken in the oven, Sauting the
breaded chicken pieces in hot oil just enough to set the coating and
then transferring to a roasting pan and putting in the oven to finish
cooking.
