Bold when raw and mellow once cooked, yellow onions are one of the most useful ingredients to keep on hand. Sauté them as the base for soups and sauces, roast them alongside vegetables, caramelize them slowly for sandwiches and burgers, or add them to braises and sheet-pan dinners.

Their balanced flavor works across nearly every style of cooking, making them an easy staple for building depth into meals throughout the week.
