Do you mean to tell me vegetables can be cooked some other way besides boiling? And you can put seasoning on them?!? My grandfather would be disgusted by the thought.

    I got fucking microwave steamed frozen veggies with no seasoning at all not even butter and if I didn't eat the freezer burnt slop I wasn't allowed to leave the table.

    Trauma bonding hell yeah. 👊

    I get the microwaved steamed veggies now. But I at least toss them in some olive oil or butter and season them. Usually I'll microwave them halfway to thaw them then fry them in some oil to get a nicer char. Not gourmet, but perfectly fine.

    I used to stir fry my veggies, but they'd end up soft due to the resulting moisture.

    Then I baked them in the oven hoping that'd be better, but I'd overcook them just a bit and they'd be too hard.

    I finally decided to air fry my veggies, and they were juuuuuuuuuuuuust right!
