How to Cut Spring Onions
When cooking recipes for a vegetarian or flexitarian diet, read our step-by-step guide on how to perfectly cut spring onions.
-
Prep and clean: Firstly, rinse your spring onions under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
-
Trim: Trim off the root end (only the very end of the root because all of the white bulb section is good to eat!), as well as the darker leaves at the top.
-
Slice: Lay your trimmed spring onion flat on your chopping board. Hold the spring onion firmly with one hand and use a sharp knife to slice it into thin rounds, keeping your knife at a slight angle.
Our top tip for even cooking is to keep the spring onion slices uniform! Remember, don’t discard your dark green leaf trimmings. If desired, you can thinly slice them for a fresh, vibrant garnish – great for soups, salads, or stir fry recipes!
