A bit unrelated but my family never ate veg when I was growing up (our diet was 80% takeout) and now that I'm getting older all those years of fast food are really starting to show.

Starting to eat better but the problem is I can not stand the taste of most vegetables. Any tips for more enjoyable meals?

>> No.6745104

>>6745065
don't eat them raw? honestly though most steamed vegetables are pretty delicious, and if you really want to add some flavor there's a whole variety of seasonings that you can put on them to little to no caloric effect. you can even splurge and pour a little melted butter on them to make em really delicous

just don't eat broccoli with cheese on it. just don't.

most of them are pretty good. I dunno, they all sort of just have this "plant" taste to them. you know, its always that same "full of water, made of cellulose" flavour, like a bell pepper or nappa.

I like wilting some fresh spinach leaves with some olive oil, a bit of lemon juice and a dash of garlic salt. The yield kinda sucks though, a huge portion of it wilts really small. I love it to death though.

I had the hardest time with adding veggies to my diet to start with. It's all about how it's cooked for me.

Garlic, rosemary, and seasons in general were the best way to get me into it.

I started adding sauteed red bell peppers, onions, and garlic to a lot of things that I like eating. Rice and potstickers, sandwiches, etc.

Also just having quick and easy to cook vegetables on hand can make the habit form with less effort. Having frozen peas and corn on hand to just cook on the side of whatever you're eating. This way you get something. It only takes few minutes to cook in the microwave. Or if you're a tinfoil hat doesn't take long to cook on the stove either.

I made a thread recently over brussel sprouts and honestly have become obsessed with them since, they may not be super healthy tho because I keep frying them up in a little bacon but it's easing me into new things.

I'm similar to OP, I already like veg but there are a lot I don't know what to do with and don't eat.

I would appreciate some methods to cook some certain ones if anyone has suggestions. I bought a stalk of broccoli.

How do I broccoli /ck/?

Also any recommendations for the following:
squash
cabbage
cauliflower
zucchini
eggplant
radish
green beans
okra


Any tasty suggestions on preparing these without ruining the healthy benefit would be greatly appreciated by me and maybe a few more people ITT. Thanks

If you're interested in eating more healthy op, add spinach to your eggs in the morning. I usually put in a hand full for every egg I'm cooking. Sometimes I chop up a whole jalapeño and throw it in there if I'm feeling spicy that day

If you roast broccoli the right way, it loses a lot of its natural bitterness.

I really like this recipe, and it keeps for a few days:

i think it is a better/lighter summer dish in the grapeseed plus the high smoking point means you can get it pretty hot so the turnips cook very well. i love well made collards in the usual southern style (from alabama, myself) but since i started cooking collards this way i have not looked back.

Find a recipe for baked squash. Generally just slice it up, toss in olive oil + salt + optional seasonings, and bake. Baked zucchini is dope too.
