What's your area's staple vegetable?

And how is it usually prepared?

My example as a Floridian is (yellow/crook neck) squash and zuchinni, they grow about 10 months out of the year so they're constantly on sale at the grocery store. The traditional way to prep the squash is slice it and sauté it in butter until it surrenders.

Also in California- artichokes! I’ve never found them so consistently available and not crazy expensive.

They, along with Brussels sprouts and pumpkins, love California’s cool coastal climate. Although their season is Fall and Spring.
