    A roundup of 25 delicious vegan recipes that show how to make vegetables taste good! Featuring salads, soups, stir-fries, burgers and so much more. Plenty of gluten-free and oil-free options. 

    make vegetables taste good

    I have to admit that I have never been someone that dislikes vegetables. I grew up eating them, and have only fallen in love more and more over the years.

    However, that doesn’t mean I spend all my time munching on raw vegetables without any preparation. In fact, I enjoy discovering new ways of preparing them and most importantly, making them taste good – to anyone, even people that think they don’t like carrots, cucumber, zucchini, etc.

    A lot of people seem to have that problem, which really is problematic given the health benefits of adding more colour to our diets. However, it’s very much possible to make vegetables taste good. It all comes down to preparation. Just like plain tofu, bland carrots and zucchini may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But there are countless other ways to add veggies to your meals. In fact, you can even make them undetectable, or not taste like the uncooked version at all.

    So, I’ve compiled a roundup of 25 recipes that make vegetables taste good, featuring ideas from myself and other bloggers. This includes options such as:

    • Delicious salads
    • Soups
    • Curries
    • Brownies
    • Stir-fries
    • Sandwiches and burgers
    • Veggie chips
    • Fritters
    • … and much more!

    All of these are vegan, with many gluten-free and oil-free options too. And they’re all guaranteed to make you fall in love with vegetables, or make you fall in love even more if you’re a fan like myself!

    Be sure to Pin this for later in case you ever need inspiration for a lunch, dinner or dessert that’s delicious and nutritious at the same time.
