    This was good. I didn't use all the oil for frying - I just sprayed the pan with spray olive oil. To dry the veggies, I cooked them on the stovetop for a while; it seemed more efficient. Decent flavor as is, but I think it needs some seasoning. Curry powder, sage, chili powder, stuff like that. - 5/7/13
