There are some exceptions at times (like pickles), but for the most part, I hate the texture of crunchy vegetables. Particularly onions, broccoli, and cauliflower, but pretty much any veggie, is worse uncooked or undercooked imo. I hate most raw vegetables by themselves or in salads, but undercooked ones may be even worse because I was promised and expecting something cooked. Crunchy peppers or onions ruin a pizza as one example. Under-done carrots and potatoes in a curry, which I had yesterday, is another perfect example.

This may not be a universally unpopular opinion but I definitely feel like I've had a lot of people seem surprised by me not liking raw veggies.

Oven-roasting is wasted on a veg you like but perfect for one you don't, like broccoli. Cut into large bite sizes, put in a bowl and drizzle with a couple tablespoons of good oil, toss well. Spread over parchment or foil on a baking pan. Sprinkle with your favorite seasoned salt and pepper. Bake/roast at 400°F/200°C about 10-15 minutes or more if you like, until they are well charred, caramelized, shrunk, soft, and hardly taste like broccoli at all. To make them even better cut up an onion in big chunks and mix it in the same bowl.
