Can vegetable broth be used instead of olive oil?

Vegetable broth cannot be used as a direct substitute for olive oil, as they serve different purposes in cooking. Olive oil adds fat, flavor, and helps with browning, while vegetable broth is primarily a liquid used for moisture and flavor. However, in certain recipes, such as when sautéing vegetables, you can use vegetable broth as a healthier alternative to reduce fat content. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture may differ.
