>steamed
stop
don't do this. the only time this doesn't destroy your vegetables is with carrots, because carrots are the supermen of the vegetable world
>onion garlic mushroom
k these basically aren't veggies

>collard greens/kale
>raw
why? raw isn't tasty the majority of the time. creamed kale maaaan

>peppers
peppers are fucking hackers and I know of more ways to cook/utilize peppers than the number of vegetables I know. just going to put a divider between pepper discussion and vegetable discussion

>brussel sprouts
>charred

that's your answer right there for the vast majority of getting tasty vegetables. you color them in a pan, ie. toasted to brown to charred depending on what you've got and what you need in flavor, cook them the rest of the way in an oven to tender as you need to.

so don't reserve this for just brussel sprouts. just start using other veggies- parsnips, green beans, asparagus, peas, spinach, whatever

Thanks for the reply.

>raw isn't tasty
Oh but boy howdy do I love my greens raw. Not sure why, but I just prefer it. I will definitely look into creamed kale; that sounds fantastic.

you could try something like this.

maybe mix it up with fried goat cheese medallions so it becomes like a psuedo "au gratin". would make for a good lunch I think- I like the lighter non-meat lunches sometimes

That looks delicious. Thanks. I'll definitely pick up ingredients when I go shopping.

How dare you disrespecting the cucumber. The cucumber is worth more than your entire family plus it's a great hydrator.

Excuse me Cucumber, but the grownup vegetables are having a grownup conversation about being COOKED. Please go sit back down at the little kids table until pickle time is called.

nigga cucumba is good as a seared/ stirfried ingredient too

Try cutting up a head of cauliflower into florets and roasting with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary at 410 degrees F (210C) until fork tender
