Stir Fry

MOM and Dad have been doing a lot of stir fry lately. But Dad doesn't like the texture of vegetables "fried" in oil. So he got the idea to bake them in the convection oven. The onions and peppers turned out great. They were not oily at all. However, the broccoli florets, water chestnuts, snow peas, and baby corn were not improved. That may be because the onions and peppers were fresh, while the remaining stir fry vegetables were previously frozen and packaged together in a stir fry kit.

Dad used to like green bell peppers. He recalls enjoying them as a kid, both raw and cooked for stuffed bell peppers. But he has not enjoyed them as an adult and wonders if he changed, or if the peppers have changed. While the yellow, red, and orange ones above turned out great, the green ones were slightly bitter and were discarded.
