Vegetables are often an afterthought in our meals. But with so many vital nutrients, they are far too important to be sidelined. If you are in hurry, grab some frozen or pre-cut varieties. And if you think they boring, try pepping up in one of the following ways:

1. Squeeze a little lemon juice over spinach, kale or zucchini to enhance the flavour.

2. Dress steamed broccoli or cauliflower with a little toasted seasame oil, soya sauce and sesame seeds, or with lemon juice, olive oil and roasted pine nuts or pumkin seeds.

1. Drizzle steamed asian greens with oyster sauce and scatter with finely chopped garlic.

2. Cut root vegetables, potatoes and pumkin into chunks and roast drizzled with rosemary, oil and garlic.

3. Chargrill slices of zucchini and capsicum, and whole corn cobs, then season with pepper and olive oil.

4. Stir-fry quatered Brussels sprout with pine nuts.
