"Hi, my name is Lori Schneider with Figs Catering in Austin, Texas. On behalf of Expert Village today we are going to show you how to make roasted root vegetables. So now I'm going to go ahead and clean and peel my red onion. My first step in doing this is I got a little bit of extra skin so I'm going to pull the off. I'm going to cut off the base of the onion here. I'm going to flip it on over and this is a root of the onion, I'm going to make sure that is in tact just by cutting off the very tip of it. The reason you want to do that is you want to make sure the root here stays in tact so it holds the onion together as you are slicing it. You would see what I'm talking about here in just a minute. So I'm going to cut it in half right in the center of the root and I'm going to go ahead and remove the skin of the onion. Now we are going to be ready to dice our red onion. "
