The best and easiest way to cook vegetables, sealing in all the important nutrients, is to steam them.  By steaming vegetables, you do not add fat like you would when frying them.  You also do not lose any essential nutrients as the lid of the steamer locks it in. The vegetables do not get in direct contact with the heat source like when you barbecue when there is a possibility of burning. There is also no need to season the vegetables as the flavor and arome will stay strong.
