Answer 2

I've managed to get some of the veggie-haters in the household to eat vegetables by roasting them (the veggies, not the veggie-haters):

1) Preheat oven to 375 or 400 degrees.

2) Put a little olive oil, about 2 tablespoons, in the bottom of a large bowl. Add some salt, pepper, and garlic, and any other spices you like. (Paprika's good.)

3) Cut up assorted veggies into thumb-sized chunks. Useful veggies: onions, peppers, squash, cauliflower, fennel bulb, firm tomatoes. Denser veggies like potatoes and carrots can also be used, but I usually steam or microwave them for a few moments to get them partially cooked first.

4) Add cut-up veggies to olive oil and spices in bowl. Stir well, until everything is coated nicely with the seasoned oil.

5) Put oiled veggies into oven-safe roasting pan or casserole. Put in oven for approximately 45-60 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Actual roasting time may vary according to oven and the vegetables used. What you want to end up with are veggies that are cooked through and starting to brown on the outsides. The browning comes from some of the sugars present in the veggies caramelizing, which gives the veggies a sweetness and depth of flavor that's very, very good.

Answer 3

A fresh, crisp salad loaded with lots of spinach, other leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, green peppers, cucumbers and everything else you can stand. Then put your favorite dressing, shredded cheese and croutons on.

Cooked vegetables taste best when steamed perfectly. Steamed broccoli is really good--steam it until it's bright green and tender (not mushy). Steamed fresh green beans are good. If you're used to canned vegetables, try getting fresh and steaming them. There's a world of difference. Experiment with different ones and see what you like.

Cauliflower probably isn't the most nutritious vegetable, but try this. Steam some up. Refrigerate it overnight. Mash it with a fork until it's about the size of peas. Add mayonnaise and anything else you would add to egg salad. Eat it on bread or toast. It sound disgusting, I know. But it really tastes more like an egg salad sandwich and not like cauliflower at all.

Answer 4

Your Dr. said more vitamins and minerals, not more veggies. There are fruits, nuts and cereals too.

For veggies try steaming them. It makes them softer in texture but easy on the flavor while retaining most of the color.
Juicing them is another good thing to do-that goes for the fruits too. They are especially good for your body if taken in the morning.

Try salads with thinly sliced fruits and mixed crushed nuts with strong dressing. They are very good.

Taste buds, food or flavor preferences are determined by your body from your eating habits. The more meat you've been eating and enjoying, the more meat you will be craving.

At first you're gonna have to get used to eating differently. After a while you will get to enjoy them and actually crave them too. Good Luck

Answer 5

You really hate vegetables? Wow. See I love vegetables, its meat that I'm not too fond of. Oh well, with raw veggies dips are always good. Umm, cheese sauce is always an option, my mum makes it to pour on cauliflour, but I used to like stick it on everything. Putting the vegetables in a pasta sauce could work, if you like pasta, just liquify them, or put them in a blender and add them to the sauce, you'll barely know that they're there. My mother used to do that when my brother and I were little, anything with a sauce on it she'd liquify whatever vegetables she could and add it to the sauce, she did that with chili, curry, soups, pasta, etc. Try it, hopefully that will help you! Bye!

Answer 6

try including more vegetables in sandwiches or wraps, like tomatoes and lettuce mixed with your favorite kind of deli meat and cheese if you'd like; you really just focus on the other stuff and not the vegetables. you can also try getting some vegetables in a soup too, but remember to finish the soup AND vegetables. most people like to eat carrots with a light ranch dipping sauce, so you can try that. if its really hard for you, just try to include little bits of vegetables in everything you eat; top some tomatoes in pastas or add in some corn next to a steak.

Answer 7

Try eating mild flavoured vegetables like peas, carrots, broccoli, beetroots, button mushrooms, squash, pumpkin mixed with pasta, noodles, broth or soup. Alternatively try eating a different cuisine like Indian, Mexican, Italian foods as they mostly contain a lot of vegetables added to them with spices and cheese, so the vegetables are not too obvious.
At the risk of sounding like every body's mother "eat your vegetables, they are good for you".
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer 8

Whip your self up some garlic butter. You can put a stick or two of butter in a mixing bowl, and add 2-3 clvoes of pressed or minced garlic. Whip until light and fluffy, then store in fridge. When your veggies are done steaming, top w/ a dollop of your whipped garlic butter. A pinch of kosher salt on top wont' hurt, either (unless you're wathicng your sodium intake).

Answer 9

You've kind a got a problem...if you don't like vegetables it's hard to make them taste good. Your going to have to convince yourself some of them taste good. Then you can work with them.

Answer 10

Carrots-cook your carrots normally and when finished cooking, put honey onto them
If you boil or steam them, the honey absorbs better

Cauliflower & broccoli-cook vegies as normal and put into baking dish.cover with white sauce(milk, flour, butter)sprinkle with cheese,bake in oven till cheese turns brown

Boil an assortment of vegies.put into baking dish and pour a small amount of oil and a fair amount of balsamic vinegar.Bake until vegies brown

Answer 11

If you REALLY hate them, "hide" them in things. Add sauteed onion and peppers to your meatloaf (even a little raw grated carrot). Add finely chopped and sauteed veggies to your tomato sauce for pastas. Make a bloody Mary!
