Vidalia Onion uses ?

[hipshot]

The Shriners sale 10 lb. Bags of these every year and I of course buy 1 bag for myself but some always go bad because I just don’t eat that much in a short time.
I guess I need to find a better way to store them but mostly looking for ways to use them, Have any of yall made “Blooming Onions” in an air fryer before ?

Nope but it sounds good. Got a good recipe for onion rings though if you don't already. How about making some pickled jalapenos, carrots and onions? They last a long time in the fridge.

I've heard of people doing batches of caramelized onions then sticking them in the freezer by putting them in ice cube trays and after they're frozen stick them all in freezer bags till needed in recipes. Sounds legit, but haven't tried it yet.

We chop a bunch. Fill snack size ziplock bags, then put those in gallon freezer bags. Toss in the freezer and pull out what we need for stews, chili, etc. Last us all year. Each snack bag is about right for recipes.

Dehydrate them

F-i-L lived down the road from a huge onion field. He would give us 50# bags.
We dehydrated and had plenty for the year.

VIdalia Onion butter
Cut them up in smaller pieces and load crock pot or do them in a dutch oven on the smoker Cook until they break down and whip with electric mixer til smooth. You can freeze in containers
spread on steamed broccoli or spread on a steak, add to any recipe.
It is pretty sweet if you use big vidalias

Pickle them with cucumbers. They will last quite a while and are a great side dish or snack.

I make what I call a blooming onion on the grill. Slice it from top to about an inch from the bottom. I use olive oil with heavy dose of Cavender's in the oil. Paint it on so it can penetrate into the onion, stick it on the grill and when its almost opened up and done I toss my streak on the grill.
Its really good.
