How does one who hates the taste of veggies get to like them?
And in a healthy way w/o putting butter or salt all over them?
Answers:
It takes your taste buds 3 weeks to get used to a new flavour. Eat vegies every day for three weeks - just wait it out - and voila! You'll love 'em!

Mix them up in a beef stew
eat them raw,or put acheese sauce on them
Try roasting your veggies, instead of just steaming them or sauteing them, which can be pretty bland. I find this adds a nice smoky flavor to everything from asparagus and broccoli to squash and brussel sprouts. I do drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on them, and usually some chopped garlic, which you can refrain from if you don't like garlic. Then roast in a single layer on a baking sheet in the oven at 425 ... how long depends on the veggie, but they will start to get a little brown around the edges. You can also do this on the grill!
tough it out! i hated brown bread but forced myself to eat it and now i like it. your taste will adapt to the foods around you but to sart of with try salad with vinergrette dressing. tastes great.
I got my kids to eat different veggies when I topped them with melted cheese or melted buttery sugar.
one may have to go on a detox and rid the body of toxins. we get use to the taste of those that we don't appreciate the natural food taste. so a colon cleanse may be necessary.
another way: mix them in with other foods, casseroles, patties, loafs.
do an internet search to find a marinade or a sauce to saute' them in. Of course deep fried zuchini, squash and okra is always good and isn't that bad for you if you use a canola oil.
Depending on the veggies, you could use them in quick breads ie; zucchini bread, or carrot cake, corn casserole, eggplant parmesan which is a wonderful dish !
I hated carrots just boiled and placed in front of me and told I had to eat them. Yeckers.
I boiled them, placed a few on a plate covered then with any good melting cheese and placed in microwave for 15 secs. I found they were good. So I started doing this with all my veggies. So now I use cheeses, gravies, sauces. I found a lot of different recipes for veg. dishes. There is so much you can do with them and stay within even a diet .
Hope this helps you some
Cook them in a different way or eat raw .
Well depending on how old you are many kids don't like certain vegetables but then as they grow up and their taste buds mature they begin to. It all begins with how curious you are about food and your desire to experiment. I would think if you really wanted to eat healthy and knew that a certain vegetable was super healthy and was going to do your body good then as an older person just force yourself to eat it (start with a small amount first).
Another trick that parents use on children is to just blend a bunch of veggies up and hide it in a pasta sauce that you can use for spaghetti, pizza, lasagna, etc.
You could taste a variety of vegetables, a little at a time. Make sure they're perfectly fresh and just cooked, maybe steamed, with a bit of a crisp crunch to them.
Also, try saying to yourself that you haven't liked them before but you might like them now. It's a small thing but it makes a difference.
Good luck :-)
making kebabs and grilling them is a good way...
There are such a wide variety of vegetables available, that I often wonder how someone can not find some they like. Maybe try something you havent had before-ruttabegga oven fries, grilled zuchini, sauteed sunchokes, stir fried kolrabi, steamed parsnips, mashed cauliflower, steamed asparagus, breaded mushrooms and okra, etc. Just like with meat, the veggie is going to taste of what it is seasoned with and how it is cooked. Try some different techniques for cooking them. I love parsnips, steamed and mashed, but dont care for them roasted, as a rule. Try some different seasonings and fresh herbs.
Most of the people I know who say they hate veggies grew up on the canned stuff. There really is no comparison between mushy, salty, flavorless canned vegetables and crisp, delicious, fresh veggies that you eat raw, steamed, stir-fried, or roasted. Frozen will do in a pinch, but there's still nothing like fresh. By any chance, are you one of those folks who only knows from cans?
spice 'em up! you can roast them using canola or olive oil and italian seasonings. in small amounts canola and olive oils are actually good for you.
Cook the veggies and then toss them with flaked unsweetened coconut and chopped peanuts. I think soups are the way to go. Everything starts to taste the same. Puree the soup if you hate vegetable texture. Also try oven roasting vegetables.
