To make veggies that are delicious, you just need 3 things.

1. A cooking technique. Pick one: boil, steam, stir-fry, blanch, grill, broil, roast, etc… the list goes on.
2. A fat. Choose: olive oil, butter, coconut oil, whatever you want.
3. A seasoning. Salt is the default choice and will make any veggie stand out, but you can also add herbs, an acid (lemon juice or vinegar), spices, wine, whatever you think would taste nice.

As a fourth “choose your own” you can add “accessories.” These include things like toasted nuts or seeds, raisins or other dried fruits, bits of bacon, or anything that strikes your fancy.
