Like many fruits and vegetables, onions do just fine when frozen.
A tedious amount of prep time can go into chopping and preparing onions. To speed up future recipes as well as reduce waste and spoilage, try preparing onions in advance and freezing for later use. As with most vegetables or fruits, onions can be preserved for a long period of time if properly frozen.
Instructions
1. Wash the onions, peeling away and discarding their flaky skins.
2. Chop or dice the onions. If you like, you can simply divide the onions and toss them into an automated processor or chopper. Smaller pieces often freeze better, so if you don't want to dice your onions, you may thin them out by cutting them into flat rings.
3. Dry the onions. Press out as much moisture as possible with a paper towel.
4. Add onions to a freezer bag or other airtight container, making sure to rid the receptacle of any excess air. Use a permanent marker to label the container with the date of first freeze.
5. Place the bag or container in the freezer.
