So fresh direct had a 'peak produce' for these and I thought I would grab a few. Got 4 lbs! They are very small, just opened one and they are like super sweet mini red onions. Any ideas for a minimal prep side for Christmas dinner tomorrow? Thanks in advance!

A hard roast with another vegetable to make it more welcoming to a mixed crowd, even carrots.
Luckily they keep a long time. It would be really easy to roast a chicken on top of a pound or two. Do that a couple times and you’ve used them up.
Caramelize and can…
Roast in butter. Best dutch oven or clay pot, but it can work even on a tray, if you’re patient enough to pur the liquid over them each 20mins. They’re gorgeous as a side
I just but a few whole in the oven like I roast garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Came out pretty yummy. The other one I tried some honey mixed with soy but too hot at 425 and tasted burnt

Pickle some! Equal parts rice wine vinegar and sugar, add some spices/seeds like cardamom, cumin, fennel, star annise. Throw em in a jar and they are ready in a few days! Delicious!

Something like this was the first thing that came to mind
Pickle em. Mmmmmmmmm
Onion tart?
Caramelize a good portion and use them on literally everything. As another comment mentioned, roasting a loaf or chicken on top of a good amount of onions with carrots, Brussels, sweet potatoes, garlic (Any root veg tbh) will please an entire crowd
Help? Friend, you’ve got all the answers right there in that little basket of miracles.
bulgogi, japanese curry, Korean steamed tofu, fried rice, pickled red onions, Peruvian lomo saltado, jajangmyun
Just eat them like apples.
There’s a Mario Batali recipe for these types of onions, thyme, cream- it’s fantastic but I am having a hard time finding a link that is working. If you Google all the right words together – cippolini onions with cream Mario Batali Recipe- it should come up. I’ve made it a few holidays in a row. Worthy.
Roast and use as garnish
for minimal prep, blanch for 1-2 minutes then transfer to ice bath. From there, you can roast them up with some oil, spices, and vinegar.
Pickle them!
