    I used to hate asparagus, but turns out it’s because my mom and grandma would always boil it.

    Pro-tip: don’t do that, it’s awful.

      Same with Brussel sprout. My step-dad would boil them. Tastes like a soggy sulfur fart. But cut them in half, toss them in a bit of oil, salt and pepper, roast them until crispy in the oven with, and they’re delicious. Oddly sweet, even. Try with other seasonings to enhance further.

        You can also steam them (without the oil), fry them (with oil), or put them on a grill (oil optional)

        Boiling is just not a good way to cook veggies, it’s just the lazy way
