The amount of carbohydrates in vegetables is not increased when cooked. Cooking on the other hand can either make food lose water or absorb water. If a vegetable contains more carbohydrates when cooked the it's simply because it has lost water weight and therefor contains more macronutrients per 100g than the same weight of it did before it was cooked.
