How to Cut and Chop an Onion

How to Cut an Onion

Cut onion from blossom to root end.  Cut off blossom top, leaving root end intact.  Peel off skin from both halves still leaving the root in place.  Using one half at a time, lay flat on cut side. The root keeps the onion from falling apart while slicing.  Follow directions under picture.

1.  Make 3 or 4 horizontal cuts in onion.  2.  Make several vertical cuts into onion half.  3.  Cut through the onion in slices.  4.  You should have evenly sized pieces of onion.
