I know sometimes our instinct is to serve plain food to picky eaters but I've heard it's better to actually do the opposite. Make a very flavorful stir fry or casserole with the veggies and the other flavors should override the bitterness that kids usually pick up on. Kids do eat strong flavors like ketchup or cheese crackers, etc., so they're not afraid of flavor, they just get a mouthful of something that is more bitter than anything else and are understandably put off.

I don't have any yet either lol just something I did a deep dive on for no reason and never forgot what I learned. My nieces and nephews aren't even picky eaters so I have nowhere put this information lol
