    Solution

    Rule  ⇒ Word like with, together with, along with, besides, as well as, including, in addition to , etc. do not affect the number of the verb. If the subject is singular, a singular verb is required; if plural, a plural verb. Here, subject is ‘vegetables’, so verb will be in agreement with vegetables. Verb here is ‘need’. (Note: peeled is also a verb, but we consider only primary (main) verb i.e. in this case, need) Vegetables …. need Vegetable …. needs
