very mediocre . dry as I suspected . Many much better recipes out there .Don’t waste your time
It shouldn’t be that dry. There’s moisture from the onions and if your kid is good, it captures most of it. If it’s drying out too much, add splashes of water during cooking. It is kind of a roasted veg side served with sauces and curries and lentil soup
