would you suggest that I peel away any dead parts and try to expose as much living tissue as possible since there are no leaves?
Yes, but don't peel away any living tissue at all. Avoid cutting/peeling anything living.

hopefully I didnt kill them
It depends on how big the container is.... one cup could be too much or too little. Basically, moisten all the soil initially, but then let it dry out between watering (more like just moistenings) until you start to see a bit of growth.

No growth could mean it is rooting, but it could also mean it is rotting. Keep an eye on it, but don't dig it up every week just to see if it has started rooting. It's going to take time.
