Just did a Costco run so this is fresh for me: broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, carrots, beans (garbanzo, black, cannelini, pinto), brussel sprouts, asparagus, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes.
The carrots and chickpeas I eat plain sometimes, but most other things get roasted or sauteed with a bit of olive oil and salt, or thrown in a stew. You don't need a ton of oil or salt to make it flavorful, but "flavorful" is of course relative, and even well-seasoned veggies don't compete with more processed foods.
As other commenters have noted, veggies shine because they have low caloric density per unit appetite satisfied, most of my calories probably come from oil, eggs, milk, and peanut butter.
