What's your favorite vegetable and how do you cook it?

Carrots:

peel them, chop them, steam them for 10-15 minutes (determine the cooking time by trying to stick a fork in them after 10 minutes to see if they're done). I usually add some frozen peas 5 minutes before done steaming.
Then add a tiny bit of butter and sugar to bring out the flavour.

i found taking mashed potatoes - and mashing into them steamed cauliflour(howeveryouspellit) is pretty dang good! lol

I'll have to try these roasted brussell sprouts with the crunchy outside. Last time I had them mother boiled them to a soggy mass.

Asparagus, Mushrooms, Onions and Tomatoes are my faves.

I quite like zucchini, onion and tomato fried up as a side dish.

But Kale is my fave since I recently started watching my diet. Not because I like the taste or texture, because it's so benign when added to a stir fry or even a fruit smoothie, but feels like I am adding the equivalent of a great multivitamin capsule to the dish for each cup I use.

Heirloom tomato cut thick cheese sprinkled on top with some garlic and broiled till cheese starts to brown. Eat with a knife and fork. Drool.

Ooooh ...or what about caprese style? Fresh heirloom tomatoes with slices of buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. If you want a show stopping salad variate between red and yellow slices of tomato and stack it like a Napoleon. Top the stack with baby pea shoots or sprouts and drizzle the vinegar and oil over top or on the plate.

Brussel sprouts and I boil them for 10 minutes and add a bit of salt.

Asparagus is my favourite. Steamed, with lemon juice squeezed over it.

I love broccoli, steamed, then stir fried in olive oil with crushed chillies. Perfect over some plain pasta... yummy!

Mine is kale, and I saute it in olive oil with garlic and onion.

Have you tried making kale chips? I've heard really good things about them but haven't tried them yet.

No I haven't tried them yet, but I will definitely!

My fave is parsnips (the sassy older sister of the carrot) - toss in olive oil, salt, pepper and roast in the oven at 350 for 25-35 min, until golden brown and soft.

They're a great root veggie and when roasted have a refreshing sweetness to go with the tartness they carry uncooked.

Lacinato Kale! I make a dressing with a little olive oil, a lot of lemon juice, red wine vinegar, shallots, garlic, & a little dijon to help everything emulsify. Cut the (washed) kale into ribbons and let it rest with the dressing for an hour or so. I mix and match fresh herbs depending on what I have (parsley, mint, tarragon, oregano) and same thing with other veg (roasted peppers, sun dried tomatoes, grilled zucchini, really whatever you feel like), but it's excellent with just the kale & dressing too. If I want to make a meal out of it I add a couple of cups of quinoa cooked in low sodium chicken stock.

Love red bell peppers. Raw dipped in hummus, wrapped in tinfoil and roasted on the grill or in the oven, sauteed with other veggies, or chopped in thrown in salads they are definitely my favorite. I also love grilled asparagus, or pretty much any veggies tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper and thrown on the grill.
