re: Vegetable side dishes for someone that doesn’t like vegetables

I've had the same problem and I'm 31 years old. I'll say this, I started with steamed broccoli and put a bunch of Tony's on it lol.

Grilled asparagus with salt, pepper, and Parmesan I find tastes pretty solid. It doesn't have that (for lack of a better word) 'asparagus' taste to it. Tastes less like a veggie.

A bag of brussel sprouts is my new go-to. Grab a skillet, throw in a half stick of butter, throw in the bag of brussel sprouts (i usually at least cut in half, if not fourths), throw in some cooked bacon or bacon bits if you're in a bind, and season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and cayenne if you like a little spice. Those are my wife and I's favorite.

Green beans are great if you book them right.




DO NOT BUY those damn steamable veggies. Those taste like they've been wrapped in plastic and have no taste and are not salvageable if you take them out to season the F out of them. Stick to fresh veggies, not frozen IMO.

Again, this is coming from someone who's 31 and has only been eating veggies (on occasion, not daily) for a couple years.

Secret go to for just abur any protein. Peel and dice sweet potatoes. Spray non stick Drizzle on sheet pan w olive oil. Sprinkle w cinnamon surge and bake for 30 mins. Spray butter and some more sprinkle then 10 more mins. voila.

Carrot soufflé

You can lightly dust yellow swuash in flour and fry. Slice like French fries not in discs

After that you can try roasted squash and cauliflower.

Cook them with a starch like rice. I do "girth rice" where I cook a couple of giant handfuls of spinach along with carrots, peas, green beans, etc in rice - just throw it right in the rice cooker with your rice and bump your liquid ratio up by about 1/2 cup compared to where you normally would cook rice. I then use this to make teriyaki rice bowls, rice dressing bowls, or stir fry and it has plenty of micronutrients cooked in. Also use this for breakfast sometimes to make cheesy eggs with fried girth rice.
