If I cut the onions and vegetables in the morning, they dry up till evening. Is there a taste change when you eat cooked vegetables, which dried out over 8 hours (before cooking)?
Flavor – Does the drying out of vegetables affect the taste after cooking

I don't think the water change will be very significant. If you were to lay them out flat so the surfaces dried a bit, they might sear and brown more easily (because that effect depends on moisture reduction in the first millimeter or so of the vegetable so that it can go above 212 F). The other thing that can be a factor is that once a vegetable is cut, some enzymes are released from the cells that can cause changes. Whether that effect will make any substantial difference depends a lot on which vegetables you are talking about.
