Thanks! Was wondering what to do with build up of them! Problem sorted.👏👍

[@riverfordorganicveg]

No problem 👍

To take the raw edge off of onions for a salsa I chop the onion and pour hot water over them for a few minutes. When drained and added they’re beautiful! 🧅 💓

Good top tip Ria😊

[@paulghewitt]

That sounds seriously lovely

[@PtolemyXVII]

Very interesting. I didn't know one could roast onions with the skin on, I suppose a bit like garlic. More videos please 😍

[@riverfordorganicveg]

More to follow!

Great videos, they’ve really helped with preparing and cooking veg from your veg boxes. I’d love a video on preparing and cooking baby globe artichokes, thanks again!!

[@riverfordorganicveg]

Hi Joyce, thank you - that's great to hear! There's a great artichoke prep guide here to get you started: facebook.com/riverford/videos/10155976227365815/

I must try ))

[@riverfordorganicveg]

Please do! Let us know how you got on

180 C = 356 F so 350 F is fine. I will be trying 320 F for 60 Minutes. I also cut them in half between the ends, cut side down on aluminum foil on cookie sheet. I also cut American large orange sweet potato in the long direction, cut side up, nothing or small amount of salt. I also treat the smaller purple skin Japanese Sweet Potato the same, whole roasted are a street food in Japan. I will be trying suggested butter & sage on everything.

Would removing the skin affect the finished product?

[@CrazyJayThaNinja]

I imagine you could probably taste the difference, but not to a degree that it would taste BAD without the skin on. I've had plenty of onions roasted alongside other vegetables without their skin that still caramalise and taste savoury-sweet.
