Eating veggies is punishment?

It is so sad to me that when I think of eating veggies it feels like I'm being punished. There are so many good tasting veggies and even more great recipes to use. I don't know why I have a negative mindset about it. I hope to work on changing the way I think of them. Any suggestions or recipes would be greatly appreciated.

I dont have recipes but what I do is oven roast them. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower carrots are much better roasted than boiled. I put them in a flat rectangel corning ware or glass pan with some water to prevent sticking. I cover them with tin foil for the first 30 to 45 min until they get soft and then take off the foil for browning them. Salt, pepper, a little olive oil or butter and its good. I also like cold leftover veg with some olive oil, vinegar, salt pepper and a hard boiled egg for evening meal. I eat my larger meal midday, but the veg and egg could be a lunch. Best wishes, since I started eating more veg its been so much easier to keep calories under my goal for the day, i hope you find the same!4

Yup- roasted for the win!! Also- if you like eggs, it’s a super easy way to add a few more vegetables in to make a scramble or frittata. I also hate chopping them (had carpal tunnel release surgery several years ago, but my dominant hand was left a bit weaker, so it’s harder to chop hard stuff... so I try to use a food processor & it’s SO much easier/faster & way more fun0
