  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful your vegetables, the more nutrients you'll get. Aim for a mix of dark leafy greens, root vegetables, and cruciferous vegetables.
  • Roast your vegetables: Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at a high temperature until they're tender and slightly browned.
  • Sauté your vegetables: Sautéing vegetables is a quick and easy way to cook them. Heat some olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat, and add your vegetables. Cook until they're tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Steam your vegetables: Steaming vegetables is a healthy way to cook them. It preserves their nutrients and prevents them from losing their color. Place your vegetables in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until they're tender.
  • Microwave your vegetables: Microwaving vegetables is a quick and easy way to cook them. Place your vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl with a little water, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until they're tender.
