I chopped vegetables to roast in the oven. A big part of it fell in the sink. The sink is not clean. We wash our hands in the kitchen sink often when we come from outside, who knows what germs are in it. Is it OK to wash off and then roast in the oven? Or should I throw it away?

If you are going to roast them in oven it’s fine. All the germs will get killed in the oven.

I'd rinse them before roasting. No issues

Wash them all and pat dry (so it roasts better) and proceed as usual. Then share some with me.

of course you can use it! Just rinse it off and you're putting it in the oven so anyway all germs get killed.

Keep in mind all that produce grew outside in the dirt and bugs and rain...as long as you clean it off before you eat it, and certainly since you're going to roast them anyways, of course it's fine to use.

As posted, your vegetables were grown and distributed with exposure to far more dirty and potentially dangerous stuff than what was in your sink. For example, pesticide as well as E-Coli are generally on the surface of produce and need to be washed for safety. Heat would kill E-Coli but might not neuter pesticide. Think of everything produce is exposed to before it lands in your kitchen - from pesticides, bacteria and fungi in the soil to lots of hands and equipment contaminating the surface.
You would just wash the produce as you would have done before you used them and they fell in the sink. At that point you could even eat them raw since they would be no more dangerous or dirty than after washing them the first time.

Definitely would use especially as they'll be heated.

I would not use, unless I washed it very well in some form of soap.

Why do you think her sink is less sanitary than all the stuff the vegetables have been exposed to?
Obviously produce needs to be washed falling in the sink wasn't worse than growing in the dirt or being handled by hands and machinery that were dirty.

The kitchen sink is said to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

I would rinse them off and use them even if I weren't planning to cook them.

Why do you think a kitchen sink is less sanitary than everything else that produce is exposed to. OP states that the sink is used to wash dirty hands. There are hands that touch the produce before it gets to your home.
All produce needs to be washed.
Do people not wash produce before using? Because I am not understanding why people think their kitchen sink is less sanitary than all the places the produce has been and all the people who handled it.

I bleach my sink once a week and make sure to spray it down at the end of the night
Maybe do that so you feel a bit better if it happens again
hope it tasted yum!
