I'll share my favorites too:


Steamed artichokes with butter or aioli


Grilled asparagus


Sauteed green beans with slivered almonds


Brussel sprouts cooked with cream and grapes


Steamed kale with butter


Broccoli with Thai sweet chili sauce


And I adore corn- but does it count as a veggie?

Your favorites sound totally yummy. Damned glad I just ate dinner (chicken with, unfortunately, frozen veggies).

I like to grill red/and or green peppers, onions, Serrano chiles, and asparagus with EVOO. I also like to grill corn on the cob, sprayed with EVOO and placed directly on the grill in their husks..

Sauteed, green beans with lots and lots of garlic and slivered almonds. I'm bad - I always use real butter.

Steamed, I like broccoli, carrots, and snow peas. Al dente, thankyouverymuch. In fact, mushy vegetables are the work of Cthulhu.

In the wok, snow peas, carrots, water chestnuts, broccoli, usually with some meat. See comment above.

I don't like mushy vegetables either! I recently found a place to buy FRESH shelled peas, I'm in heaven. I steam them for just a short time so they're warm but still crisp. What's EVOO?

[Dobie_Gillis]

Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Unless I'm sautee'ing or using chili oil in my wok, it's my go-to for all my grilling, baking, and frying needs.

[samhradh_leannan]

Oh, okay. I use a lot of olive oil too. AND real butter! Margarine works with some things but not with others.

Bellpeppers are awesome.

I like to saute them (fresh or frozen) in olive oil with some basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

It's a side veggie that I never get tired of. :)

Bok choy - absolutely any way. Heck, just boil it and salt it and it's amaaazing.

Roast potatoes

Fried green beans with garlic

Cucumber and tomatoes with greek yoghurt and salt & pepper

Otherwise salads are badass - put any kinda vegie in it and I'll eat it

I love all veggies lol. But green beans, anyway. Peas, corn (its a veggie), cauliflower (all steamed/cooked). Asparagus is great anyway especially white asparagus. Steamed artichokes too. Raw kale with lemon juice, steamed broccoli.

I only like carrots if they're prepared in someone elses kitchen, and eaten by someone else, out of my sight. Other than that, my favorite vegetable is steak.

[ivarei]

snow peas (raw), broccoli (steamed), brussel sprouts (the way my boyfriend makes them), cauliflower (steamed)

[CuriousEddie]

Raw celery. And yeah, I know, it has like no nutritional value...

[Anonymous]

Pretty much any vegetable you can think of tossed in stir-fry is really good. Adding some sweet teriyaki sauce makes it more palatable to picky eaters.

[somnambulated]

Roasted beets with balsamic vinegar, my favorite is fig balsamic. Oh my god, so good.

[drummerdude25]

Pretty much any steamed or grilled veggie is a good veggie to me! I'm not picky... ;)

[dracr]

Blood beets, steamed or boiled, maybe with lemon juice.

[Anonymous]

steamed broccoli with soy sauce, raw carrots, celery with a little bit of peanut butter, steamed green beans

[martyfellow]

Bok choy or Chinese cabbage, steamed...
