Do roasted potatoes count? I roast sweet potatoes along with the Yukons, if that helps. If you are going to be strict about it, then roasted broccoli.

Roasted asparagus spears dipped in egg yolk!

where to start... green beans with lemon, oliveoil and salt. My "pasta with zucchini". corn on the cob. caprese salad...
and on
and on
and on
and i so wish i win!

Saag Aloo! Can't get enough.

La tortilla española (de patatas). Anything that combines egg, potato, onion and olive oil has to be good.

Roasted root vegetables with fresh herbs

(fresh lemon and olive oil, that is.)

I can't live without zucchini and garlic, roasted in the oven with a little olive oil and some herbs. Yum!

My absolute favorite? Perfectly steamed organic broccoli with a little bite of sea salt.

roasted sweet potatoes with scallion-miso butter. totally rocks.

cauliflower - especially with curry sauce

My favorite meal is tofu with vegetables over rice. I suppose that makes my favorite vegetable dish the standard stir-fry? Broccoli, bean sprouts, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, you get the idea.

roasted butternut squash puree with brown sugar crust!

pickles -- any kind.

slowly caramelized onions. they make everything delicious.

I can't believe it is 08 and I can't believe when I went to college the Moosewood Cookbook had recently come out and the classic recipe I made all the time for groups and still do, is her Spinach Lasagna and the other was the Cream of Spinach Soup recipe.

Does a vegetable stir fry(baby portabella's, onions, broccoli, pea shoots, eggplant, bean sprouts, spinach, leeks,and peppers)count? I honestly could not live without some version of a veggie stirfry in my diet, no matter where in the world I am.....

Borscht!
My mom's family is Polish, and every Christmas Eve we have a big Polish meal. The idea of cold beet soup doesn't go over too well for most people, so when we borscht-eaters became a serious minority (basically just my mom and I), I learned to make it myself and now I make it every year regardless of how few people will be eating it. It wouldn't be Christmas Eve without it!

High-heat roasted cauliflower dipped in aioli.

roasted sweet potato soup...need I say more?

ratatouille, prepared the French Laundry way!

Simply roasted brocolli, onions and garlic

Agreed - I could never pick one, so I'll pick something I'm craving right now. Fattoush, a middle eastern salad with sumac.

roasted carrots and turnips with brown sugar

I also couldn't pick just one. in the summer, it would surely be sliced tomatoes with oil, vinegar and salt. fall/winter - baked sweet potatoes, toppings vary on what I have in the fridge but usually include greek yogurt. in the spring, probably roasted asparagus.

A simple salad of sliced heirloom tomatoes, with large delicate flakes of Maldon salt, excellent olive oil, and basil chiffonade. I could live on this for most of the summer.

My husband's collard greens.

vegetable calzone - usually stuffed with spinich onions and bell peppers

I used to hate brussels sprouts, and now I love them! I also am a huge fan of leafy greens, chard, kale, etc. I crave them several times a week.

broccoli rabe sauteed w/garlic

Seared zuchs with garlic&onions in stewed tomatoes with white wine... serious go-to dish

Kale and garlic and pepper
and then
spinach and garlic and pepper
and yes, brussel sprouts....I love them with shallots! If you peel each sprout individually, the lavor is fabulous!

Steamed broccoli with melted cheese on top

cucumber slices with rice vinegar, salt & pepper

Vine tomato with fresh basil, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil

Iceberg lettuce - mostly for its nutritional richness...

Wait, no, it's because the iceberg wedge with blue cheese dressing usually also has bacon in the mix - basically want I really want to do is create a cool, crunchy cocktail composed of water, blue cheese dressing, and bacon.

Given that neither blue cheese dressing nor bacon are not acceptable answers here, I'm going to agree with carusoc and go with broccoli rabe.

Jersey corn and heirloom tomatoes are also high on the list.

Where is Jerzeetomato when you need her?

Wow. I can pick only one? Roasted asparagus, with olive oil and garlic, maybe a bit of balsamic vinegar. YUM!

roasted butternut squash

Chard with sauteed red onion and a little mustard seed. I could eat it every day.

asparagus with hollandaise

Artichokes with saffron aioli as dip.

I will eat asparagus at any moment as long as its fresh. I hate it out of a can.

roasted roots, raw whole carrots, and steamed winter greens with red chili flakes. Pretty simple stuff

Oven-roasted vegetables (whatever is around at the moment)

Never met one I didn't like, raw, steamed, roasted, saute alone or with lots of others. If I had to pick one I couldn't live without, it would have to be tomato. If I had to pick one I could never have again it would be okra.

roasted beets, turnips, carrots, cauliflower, garlic...delish!

First of all, I must say that I LOVE The Moosewood Cookbook. A friend of mine cooks from it all of the time. In fact, when he asks what I might like for dinner, I lean towards recipes in this cookbook.

Secondly, to answer the question...I couldn't live without 1. my grandmother's scalloped potatoes, 2. anything with eggplant, and 3. a fanastically sauteed mushroom. Yum!

Veg I make that I can't live without:
Asparagus sliced thin on the bias and stir-fried in very hot olive oil until wilted but still crunchy, add some kosher salt.

Brussels sprouts!

corn on the cob

Brussel Sprouts-- washed, bottoms cut off, cross cut into the base, and then halved. Toss with olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, salt and pepper.

Dump entire mix onto hot cookie sheet, roast until tender-- the sprouts will be golden and sweet, the garlic will be soft and delicious. Mmmm.

Also-- microwaved Spagetti Squash (Great for reduced carb meals in the evening)-- halve a squash, pour olive oil, salt and pepper in the middle. Microwave until soft. Scrape out strings of squash, top with pasta sauce and really good parmasan cheese. Mmm.

Salad rolls too--

So easy, so good! Take a spring-mix, mangoes (a must have), red onions, red peppers, carrots, avacado and cooked, cold vermachelli noodles. Wrap in rice-paper, and serve with a dressing made from soy sauce, peanut butter and a spash of hoisin. Fresh fresh fresh! Add tofu or chicken for extra protein.

kimchi.... i even like it with my pizza.. not on it, but with it :)

Zucchini omelets!

If you don't count anything potato, my favorite is steamed broccoli with just a touch of salt/butter.

Sauteed spinach with garlic, vinegar and pepper flakes--exactly what I hated as a child.

OH! I love my Moosewood cookbooks. I didn't realize this book was out so to be honest if I don't happen to win one it won't matter cause I'll buy it anyway. (Wait...I shouldn't have shared that, should I? I obviously talk too much- ignore me.)
My veggie dish to die for is: Veggie chili! I actually prefer vegetarian chili loaded with fresh veggies, black beans and ancho chili peppers over any other kind. And if you smother it all over a veggie burger I'm comatose with happiness for days.

Brussel Spouts in a butter sauce....yummy

Asparagus, most definitely

The vegetable that I can not live without is Spinach. When it was recalled the last time I was a sad sole.

Asparagus is one of my many favorites.

This time of year, just about anything roasted: brussels sprouts, cauliflower, beets, sweet potatoes, winter squash... Oh, now I'm hungry!

Potatoes done almost any way

creamed spinach

I'm seriously obsessed with vegetables - there isn't one I don't like, which is lucky, since I'm vegetarian.

My cravings change all the time. Right now, I'm really into cabbage soup (I eat it cold, straight out of the tupperware). But the dishes I couldn't live without, ever, are:

Braised kale with garlic
Chinese-style mushroom stir-fry
Roasted butternut squash with spices and nuts (hazelnuts, pistachios or walnuts)
Eggplant in black bean sauce

Really, Is there a more versatile vegetable out there?

I can't live without my Mom's broccoli casserole. MMMMmmmmm!!

Grits

A side salad with dinner. When I started my lifestyle changes 3 months ago, I vowed to always eat a salad with dinner. Since then, I've only missed that salad 3 times and each time I did, I felt awful, physically. There is nothing better than fresh veges.

I love roasted veggies...squash, peppers, onions, eggplant, etc.

the perfectly roasted asparagus

Us sotherners love our veggies (albeit not Mollie K style), seasoned with ham hocks or fat back.

Fresh tomatoes, corn, butterbeans and squash right out of the garden.

Fav veggies are turnip greens, collards, and rutabagas YUM

I have to admit, I am addicted to stuffed artichokes - followed by grilled asparagus. Simple, decadent, and mouth watering delicious!

Baked zucchini (or fried) topped with parmesan cheese! Simple and perfect.

As a vegetarian, I would have to say all vegetable dishes! But, if I were to narrow it down, I'd have to say the Moosewood's recipe for Navajo Stew: sweet potatoes, bell peppers, butter beans, chipotle peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro!

Roasted winter squash either savory or sweet :)

roasted beets

Broccoli with cheese sauce.

Cooked greens, southern style... Mustard, turnips, collards, all of 'em. None of this lightly cooked stuff for me. Cook the heck out of them, like my granny did and don't forget to throw in a chunk of fatback to make 'em smoky. Serve up in a shallow bowl so you get the pot liquor and douse with peppery vinegar. Add piece of cornbread, not sweet mind you, and you've got a piece of heaven in your hot little hands.

"Green Bean Casserole" topped with french fried onions...... I can't go a week without it!!!
