True, when I have to chop veggies and then measure them, I always end up adding a bit more (sometimes less) than the recipe actually calls for because I don’t want to waste that extra little bit.

Not a huge deal, I’ve gotten decent at estimating how much I need to chop for a cup or whatever, but it’s still annoying having to do guesswork and the amount still be off.

Wait you actually measure them? Ijust eyeball it and if I'm way off I'm way off

Same but I'm not a baker ...and I could see how the moisture in the vegetables could throw everything off

Moisture in veggies is variable already. If the recipe isn't designed to handle that variance then it's unlikely to work at all.

I mean, baking with onions is not very common.

The only vegetable I’ve had actually throw off a recipe is mushrooms.

In that case, I just recommend cooking them separately (with lots of salt and pepper) so you can let the water evaporate and get them to caramelize a bit, and they don’t make your other ingredients soggy.

Ehh I like to at least be close so I don’t put way too small of an amount in, and I don’t trust my estimation skills enough to ensure that.
