Not sure if you've tried this already, but might be worth trying some vegetables prepared in different ways if you haven't experimented with them a bit.

In my house, vegetables are usually sauteed with seasoning and served as part of a mixed dish (Chinese cuisine, essentially), and while I have some I like and dislike, it gave me an appreciation for veggies from a young age.

Not sure of your background, but when I ask Americans who say they hate vegetables how their family used to cook them, it's almost always just boiled or steamed to be mushy and flavorless.

It's surprising how quick someone can go from hating carrots to loving carrots just by drizzling them with a bit of oil, sprinkling some salt and pepper, and baking for a few minutes. Never have to have steamed carrots again.

Also for people who prefer roasted, but don't want to go through the effort of waiting for an oven to preheat: using an air fryer has changed how I cook vegetables. It's amazing how "what if we made a convention oven, but smaller" is actually really helpful because it heats up super fast. Very convenient to roast them with an air fryer and very tasty

Yeah, I didn't like many vegetables until I started trying to cook for myself and started doing roast vegetables every chance I could. You don't even need them to be fresh - if all you can afford is frozen, you can do those, you just might want to give them a little more time.

Frozen vegetables taste best. The frozen stuff is always the best.
