Cook nearly any veggie in shallots, cream, whisked in egg, top with Parmesan, broil until brown.
Veggie gratin that isn't the most healthy but is better than nothing, and brilliant served as a side to steak. I recommend mushrooms, spinach or zucchini.

Vegetables taste bad?
My brother in Christ, you're addicted to junk food
Depends on the veggies. I'm very sensitive to bitters, so Asparagus to me tastes awful no matter how it is cooked. Same with arugula and some other leafy greens. But beans, broccoli, carrots all taste nice and I eat a lot of those.
And you like to jump to conclusions quickly. Let's both be judgemental together!

I've had properly sauteed and spiced asparagus and it still tastes awful to me. I'm just very sensitive to the bitter compounds in it.

Maybe I’m just not prepping them right, but for me the problem I have with a lot of veggies is the texture.
-Raw is perfectly fine for most veggies.
-Steaming is an easy method, if raw is unpleasant or if the veggie is more woody.
-Blanche and shock make a cooked veggie divine!
-Sauteed (with plenty of butter) until fork tender on the stove top also helps.
-Baking on a sheet tray, covered in olive oil and salt / pepper make a lot of veggies shine
The main issue with all of those is understanding cook times, which takes trial and error.
Or curry! Letting all those flavors meld, you can put any veg in there and it will break down into soft loveliness.
soup is the answer
