    Greens and ham hock (or bacon or whatever or no meat) and onion and garlic and stock go in the crockpot, plugged in outside. Run it on high and get a good boil, then turn it down and walk away for a couple of hours.

    A good bachelor tip. You can cook broccoli, carrots, asparagus, cauliflower and zucchini in a toaster oven.

    Slice up the vegetables into pieces no bigger than an inch and a half. Drizzle with olive or sesame oil. Dust with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, or the any other spice you like the flavor of. Put pieces on foil, make sure there is some room between them. Toast for a couple of minutes and they are ready to eat.

    Why would you want to eat something that doesn't taste good?

    For Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini's, I typically roast them in the oven. I find steamed stuff pretty bland, so I need to add some seasoning.

    If you like to BBQ, you can throw things on the grill too. I like to do grilled peppers and then include them in a chipotle style bowl with some fajitas.

    I love veggies and while technically a fruit, olives are my favorite.

    This is a good take but may want to give it longer than a couple of minutes depending on the toaster oven. The longer you wait, the crispier and better the product, IMO. In our house, we constantly roast vegetables in the main oven.

    I've heard cauliflower blends well with mashed potatoes and is nearly undetectable.

    cauli is very versatile.

    i've used the blender to rice the cauliflower to
    • make fried rice
      • (along w peas, carrot, green onion, bean sprout, sauce sauce, hoi shin sauce, and meat (shrimp, chicken, pork or preserved dried fish)
    • make grits
      • along w onion and greek yogurt and nutritional yeast
        • goes well w grilled shrimp and roasted root veggies (American turnips, rutabaga. carrots, parsnip)
    i have done that as well; roasted the cauli first, then riced it, then add to soup

    Zucchini as well. Especially, if you peel the skin. Zucchini spaghetti or noodles is good.

    A lot of people forego the carbs/potatoes and mash the cauliflower... just a rumor, though -- I've never tried it in the wild.

    (seriously, mashed cauliflower is a thing)

    Last time I made lasagna I replaced about half the noodles with thin sliced zucchini and eggplant...so good.

    So is cauliflower "rice". It's pretty good.

    My comment was more of a subtle jab at Trump rather than real advice, but it's good to know you bums are knowledgeable on veggie recipes.
