What if you know you won’t use that half-onion in a week? Freeze it. Seriously, diced frozen onions are a lifesaver for lazy weeknight dinners. Chop the leftover onion into cubes, spread them on a baking sheet (so they don’t clump), pop them in the freezer for an hour, then dump them into a bag.
Now you have instant onion on demand. No crying, no chopping, just dump frozen goodness into your pan. It’s like having a secret weapon against boring meals. I do this every time I’m left with a half—it’s saved me from ordering takeout more times than I can count.
