Do you mean to tell me vegetables can be cooked some other way besides boiling? And you can put seasoning on them?!? My grandfather would be disgusted by the thought.

Even boiled vegetables taste good if you don't go stupid mode about it.

I got fucking microwave steamed frozen veggies with no seasoning at all not even butter and if I didn't eat the freezer burnt slop I wasn't allowed to leave the table.

Trauma bonding hell yeah. 👊

I get the microwaved steamed veggies now. But I at least toss them in some olive oil or butter and season them. Usually I'll microwave them halfway to thaw them then fry them in some oil to get a nicer char. Not gourmet, but perfectly fine.

I used to stir fry my veggies, but they'd end up soft due to the resulting moisture.

Then I baked them in the oven hoping that'd be better, but I'd overcook them just a bit and they'd be too hard.

I finally decided to air fry my veggies, and they were juuuuuuuuuuuuust right!
