Mash-Up Their Veg
How about mashing up their veg to give it a mashed potato type texture? You could even mix it with mash potatoes to trick them into eating it if you need to.
Get Creative With Your Presentation
It takes a little bit more time, but creativity with your presentation could make a huge difference. We eat with our eyes just as much as anything else! How about making fun faces and shapes?
Include Them With Every Meal
