Maybe I’m just not prepping them right, but for me the problem I have with a lot of veggies is the texture.

-Raw is perfectly fine for most veggies.
-Steaming is an easy method, if raw is unpleasant or if the veggie is more woody.
-Blanche and shock make a cooked veggie divine!
-Sauteed (with plenty of butter) until fork tender on the stove top also helps.
-Baking on a sheet tray, covered in olive oil and salt / pepper make a lot of veggies shine

The main issue with all of those is understanding cook times, which takes trial and error.

Or curry! Letting all those flavors meld, you can put any veg in there and it will break down into soft loveliness.
