Broccoli
Fellow broccoli head
broccoli stem here
onions aren't a vegetable they're a spice and belong in basically everything
bell pepper is my top rn, i've been roasting them like a mf
new mexico green chiles are indespensible
tomato
- Green beans
- Avocado
- Potato
Honorable mention to capsicum
Potato
I like a good potato too! I should make some fresh mashed potatoes soon.
- Beans

And special commendations to lentils.
I'm a bit of a legume lover
- Black beans
- White beans
- Green beans
Artichoke, black beans, bok choy
Celery
Green peas
Leeks
Celery adds great flavour to dishes, especially sauces, soups and broths when sauteed at the beginning, peas taste great with almost everything, and leeks are like creamier onions. Just remember to wash the leeks properly between all the layers though. The leaves of leeks and celery, which are often thrown away by many, can also be used to add a deeper flavour and pleasant green colour to soups and broths.
For three vegetables that go well together as a combination in one dish, the best trio for me has to be the French mirepoix or Italian sofrito of onion, celery and carrots. Sautee this trio for the base of any good sauce, ragu, soup or stew. Close second would be the Cajun trinity of onions, celery and bell peppers (if you count bell peppers as a vegetable), with garlic as the pope.
Fingerling potatoes
Asparagus
Habs
Broccoli, carrots, potatoes.
That may sound boring, but there are so many varied ways to season and flavor the above and they can go into so many dishes.
-
Idaho gold potatoes
-
Napa cabbage
-
Scallions
Ohhhh yeh cabbage is up there
Potato
Onion
Broccoli
1: Broccoli 2: Bell Peppers 3: Onions
Not in order, but these are by far the best veggies. Onions are amazing almost everywhere, broccoli is good in almost every way, and you can do so much with bell peppers and their juices. My grandmother made a dish with bell peppers and onions once and I mixed the leftovers into a tofu scramble. It was the best scramble I have ever had, and I have no idea how she prepared the dish.
onions and garlic are OP so besides those:
murasaki sweet potatoes
green bell peppers
acorn squash
- Tomatoes (love me some marinara)
- Potatoes (they're good and go well with so many things)
- Peas (used to make textured vegetable protein, which makes being vegan a lot easier and more enjoyable)
- Calarabi
- Onions
- Black beans.
- Cabbage: raw, cooked, fermented, it's great
- Onions: they're a veg, they're a spice, basically magic
- Honestly just all the brassicaceae/cruciferous veg, they're all great
I'd include nightshades but they're all tubers and fruits and I get angry about the culinary/botanical distinctions
Bell pepper (green to red they're always delicious)
Broccoli
Beans (I don't care what kind they're all great)
Honorable mention to the jalapeno, and other mild Chile peppers they make a dish explode in flavour.
Cucumber
Cayenne pepper
Sweet potato
- Beanis
- Asparagus
- Cauliflower
Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet Potato Greens
Potatoes, broccoli, and corn
Technically not vegetables but I believe mushrooms belong on this post.
I'm going to pretend spicy peppers aren't vegetables for this.
- Red onion
- Red cabbage
- Bok choy
and love pretty much all vegetables, maybe i can do a top 10 but top 3 are difficult.
i spent a lot of time in north europe where supermarkets only have shit fresh vegetables, also crazy expensive, and most frozen vegetables are mushy and bad. in south europe the selection is 10x better, and in asia it's incredible. some vegetables you never see in europe, and some that in europe you can only find in specialised shops are instead available everywhere. in europe you need to go to a huge supermarket or an asian shop to get a small bag of bok choy for like 2€. in china bok choy is almost free, like 20c per kilo.
anyway here are some i want to have often
- 芥兰 Jielan/Kalam, similar to broccolini but more kale-ey. cantonese style steamed kalam with vegan oyster sauce is
- tomatoes, juicy, crunchy, sweet, sour, meaty, all good for different purposes
- peppers, red/yellow/green bell peppers, turkish sivris, chinese luosijiao, poblanos, sweet or mild or a bit spicy (i love hot chilis too but they're more of a spice than a vegetable)
