Finally figured out the freezer trick for onions

I got tired of half a chopped onion going bad every week. Started freezing the leftovers flat on a baking sheet and now I just break off what I need for chili or eggs. Anyone else do this or got a better method for saving veggie scraps?

Oh man I tried that but then my freezer smelled like onion for a month. I started just tossing the whole onion in the freezer for 10 minutes before chopping and that stopped the tears way better. You ever try that trick?

Wait, does it really work just throwing the whole onion in the freezer for 10 minutes? I've been doing the cut-the-root trick for years and it helps a little but I still end up crying like a baby. Your onion in the freezer idea sounds way easier than what I do. I finally gave up and just started wearing these cheap swim goggles I found at the dollar store, honestly the best thing I ever did. My wife laughs at me but nobody is crying over onions at my house anymore. Plus my freezer doesn't smell like anything weird so that's a bonus.
