100 Times Vegetables Were The Most Delicious Thing On The Table

It's easy to get stuck in a vegetable rut. Once you've got your go-to salad recipe or have found the perfect way to stir-fry broccoli, there's no need to look any further, right? WRONG. Guys, you're selling your veggies short. There's so much more you can do with an artichoke than steam it. There are countless recipes for corn off of the cob. And when it comes to asparagus, the possibilities are endless.

If you've been cooking squash the same way for the past year (or decade), today is the day you should branch out. In honor of National Eat Your Veggies Day, we have put together a collection of 100 recipes to inspire you not only to eat your veggies, but to try them in a new and exciting way.

From pickled asparagus to fennel gratin, we have found every reason you need to eat vegetables.
