Think You Don't Like Veggies? Try Cooking Them Like This!

Do you hate eating your veggies and find yourself pushing them to the side of your plate, or drowning them in butter or sauces just to make them taste better? Do you dream of a world where veggies actually taste good? Well, we’ve got some great news! There are several great tips and tricks for cooking vegetables that will have even the pickiest eaters begging for more.

1) Roast

First up, let's talk about roasting. This cooking method is perfect for bringing out the natural sweetness and flavor of your veggies. Simply chop up your favorites, toss them in some olive oil, and throw them in the oven until they're crispy and delicious. Seriously, some say it’s like candy for your taste buds. We love this recipe for roasting veggies.

2) Stir-fry

Not only is stir-frying super quick and easy, but it also makes your veggies taste amazing. Heat up some oil in a pan, add your chopped veggies, and let them sizzle away until they're perfectly tender-crisp. A little soy sauce or other seasoning can make them even more irresistible. Try this recipe for a veggie stir-fry.

3) Air-fry

If you're looking for a healthier way to get that crispy, fried texture you love, then air-frying is the way to go. This method uses hot air to cook your veggies, so you can indulge without all the added calories. Just chop 'em up, toss them in the air fryer, and let the magic happen. You'll be amazed at how good they taste.

4) Blend

And finally, if you're really struggling to get your daily dose of veggies, then blending is your new best friend. Add some leafy greens to your morning smoothie, blend up some roasted sweet potato for a creamy soup, or whip up your own homemade dip with roasted bell peppers. You'll be amazed at how much better everything tastes with a little extra veggie power.
