Keep offering different veggies. He may end up trying and having at least one favourite.
Also try to make smoothies at home. That was my way of adding some kale/avocado and other stuff my son did not want to eat. If you mix it up with some red fruit, he won’t taste veggies. But at least he’ll get some fiber.
Another option is to buy freeze dried veggies. They are just as good as fresh but they are crunchy and it makes it more attractive to toddlers. There are green beans/beets/zucchini, sweet potatoes, okra.

Have you mentioned this to his pediatrician? This could be a sensory issue. He def needs to be consuming vegetables in some way

You could try adding and blending some into marinara sauce

Oh I just saw that you tried that! Zucchini bread maybe? Adding some to meatloaf? 🤷♀️

You could try prune juice or adding flaxseed into oatmeal (anything really) for constipation.

They don’t have to be served whole. You can finely julienne veggies into a sauce or hide them small in foods so doesn’t think he’s consuming any but he is, in the sauce. My homemade sausage rolls contain zucchini, carrot, apple. In a bolognese sauce you can cut up finely diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, mushroom sometimes I add too. Fruit smoothies. My kid loves avo smoothie. Look for recipes that have a heap of veggies in the sauce. As for constipation lots of water and half a pouch of yogurt a day- probiotics. I’d buy a huge tub for myself and refill into reusable pouches for him and wash when it’s finished and we grab and go and take the pouch home to be washed so he never runs out of yogurt unless my big tub runs out. Yogurt also keeps me going daily and soft too, I have a bowl a day. If you want to serve veggies bake them w cheese. My kid will eat any veggie if it’s loaded w melted cheese lol
