Fav vegetable?

VonHocker08

What are your favorite vegetables to eat raw? Cooked? How do you prepare them?

I eat quite a bit of vegetables but I'm getting bored with them lol so I'm looking for some inspiration.

Raw - orange or yellow peppers.
Cooked - broccoli, steamed - sometimes with a squirt of lemon, sometimes a dash of salt, usually plain.

So hard to pick just one!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vegetables

Easier to pick what I don't like. Don't like green peppers, not particularly fond of red or yellow either. But apparently they're a fruit, so they don't count.

That said, there's probably about half on that list I haven't tried, so who knows.

jemhh

raw - red peppers, kohlrabi, tomatoes, green beans
cooked - brussels sprouts (quartered, roasted with olive oil and salt), sweet potatoes (baked, topped with butter)

gothchiq

green beans, steamed.

I don't like many raw vegetables...a salad here and there is ok and I like cucumbers...other than that I like my veg cooked. I like pretty much any vegetable...usually sauteed or roasted.

Raw: carrots;
Cooked: Brussels sprouts (my mother would ask what I did with her real son), shredded and roasted with a little salt, pepper, garlic, and olive oil;

Of course, nothing beats peppers and tomatoes (fruit/vegetable/doesn't matter) and onions in a crock of chili.

It's a toss up between carrots and green beans.

Thank YOU for using the plural

Raw - not counting pickles, onion and other garnish: Broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower, kohlrabi, beets, rutabaga, carrots. I also eat asparagus raw, and salads.

Not counting potatoes and sweet potatoes, legumes, canned tomatoes, onion, garlic and chili - these are my favorite cooked vegetables:
Corn on the cob - grilled, or really just baked in the oven, with salt.
Parsnips - oven roasted with salt/pepper, olive oil, honey, sesame seeds.
Brussel sprouts - cut in halves and oven roasted with butter or pork drippings.
Asparagus - boiled.
Rutabaga - cut into 3/4 inch wide sticks and boiled. Perfect with bacon or pork chops and mashed potatoes.
Artichoke - boiled and eaten dipped in melted butter, with ham and corn on the cob.
Peas or green beans - I just heat them in the oven after meat/fish is done.
Edamame, celery and mushrooms - in risotto.
Kale or spinach - in "Trinidadian Chicken Curry with Coconut Grits & Collard Greens".
Pasta with ricotta and peas.
Pasta with cream cheese, ham and peas.
Chili - I use squash, peppers, celery.
Minestrone soup - squash, carrots.
Spaghetti bolognese - squash, carrots/peppers, celery.
Stir-fry - "Asian" canned vegetables, peppers.
Vegetable soups: Carrot, pumpkin, green peas, onion+lentils, peppers, mushroom, spinach - some soups call for a starchy vegetable like celeriac or parsley root.

I also love trying and tweaking new recipes. I need a strict rotation to get through all my favorites

So many favorites.
Like the others I'd say it's easier to name the few I don't like. Mustard greens being one.

My current favorites are roasted brussels sprouts, and raw or steamed broccoli.

AngryViking1970

So many. SO MANY. I love asparagus/broccoli/cauliflower/Brussels sprouts/squash... I could wax poetic about veg for a while. Maybe I should just say that I don't particularly care for kale. But really, does anyone?

lemurcat12

Too many to choose -- it goes with the season. At the moment I'm into brussels, collards, root vegetables, and winter squash, among many others.

generallyme2

I pretty much love all vegetables. I really really love them roasted- root veggies and brussel sprouts especially. Recently, I found that roasting radishes makes them taste a lot like brussel sprouts (takes away some of the kick- which I love when they're fresh) but they're really good too. Radishes, brussel sprouts, maybe throw in a few purple potatoes and carrots for color and toss with olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper. Roast at 425 until done and mmmm.

I love sugar snap peas dipped in hummus

sardelsa

Oh I love all veggies so it is hard to choose. But my absolute fave are the slightly bitter ones.
Raw - Arugula (or rocket) in a salad
Cooked: Rapini (or broccoli rabe) sauteed in garlic and olive oil

KyleGrace8

I'm really lazy so I just use birdseye steam veggies in Asian Melody and Garlic Cauliflower. I really love cauliflower, broccoli, onions. I'm also really into spaghetti squash and I'm cooking one in the oven now. Sometimes I put the cauliflower in buffalo sauce.

debtay123

I love so many vegies too- I really enjoyed roasted cauliflower, steamed green beans, and fiesta corn

jemhh

Oh, I forgot lima beans! I love lima beans. With butter. So delicious.

When I was a kid I hated them so I'd swallow them whole, but now I love lima beans.

ARGriffy

Beetroot, grated raw, pickled, smoked, roasted. .. The lot! And asparagus drizzled in balsamic and grilled!

Tomato sauce on pizza

potato ftw! Potato is a first ballot Hall of Fame vegetable. Sweet potato honorable mention.

bethannien

Raw-cauliflower (dipped in ranch or hummus if I have the calories but plain is good too). Broccoli chopped up with kale and tossed in a little dressing. Baby carrots.

Cooked-roasted asparagus (with olive oil and salt and pepper). Roasted Brussel sprouts. Roasted carrots. Steamed broccoli (but still with some bite. I HATE over steamed broccoli) either sprinkled with Parmesan cheese or just salted.

sfcrocker

Raw--Bell peppers
Cooked--Broccoli or peas

If I didn't say potatoes, my ancestors would rise up and kill me.

JustMissTracy

Easier to say which ones I don't like:
1. Eggplant
2. Asparagus

healthygreek

I love all veggies with the exception of okra-ugh-not for me!
I can't eat raw broccoli or spinach or I get awful stomach pain.
Otherwise I steam or roast my veggies and mix them with olive oil and spices.
I like to dip raw carrots in hummus.
I also love all different veggies in a spicy tomato broth.

alyssa0061

Brussel sprouts!!!
