Vegetable cooking ideas please

You all have prolly already realised that I'm with OddBox (we both get £10 off our first or next box if you use this link) by now who rescue "odd" or "wonky" or just "too many" fruits and veggies from both farmers and shops that are all perfectly safe to eat and there's nothing wrong with them other than their size or shape.  I'm gonna be having fruit for every lunch over the warmer months, but I wanna try and experiment with veggies in the cooler months too.


It obviously depends on what is available each week, but other than sweetcorn, butternut squash and jacket potatoes, I've got zero idea how to prepare and cook other fresh veggies.  They need to either be softish (because I'm already too weak and unsafe to cut raw potatoes and squash and hard veggies like that) or like sweetcorn where I can just put them into the air fryer for a few minutes and they are ready to go.  Mushrooms are ideal 'cos I can just put them into the air fryer with zero preparation at all and it's things like that that I'm looking for.


Ideally veggies that I can have on their own (like sweetcorn and mushrooms) but definitely nothing involving sharp knives at all.  Peeling is OK as long as it's very minimal (like with the orange family) but if it needs more done to it than that, then it's a no-go atm.


Sooo, come on all you foodies, which are the best raw veggies to start with that are soft-ish, need minimal preparation, no sharp knives and can be cooked in an air fryer or ideally eaten raw?


Leave me a comment in reply to this blog post so that I can keep them all together instead of risking losing them in my mountains of emails please?
