What to do with a surplus of fresh veggies?

Hi folks! Hope this is okay to post here. I also put it in r/povertykitchen but I thought slrpnk people would probably have a different perspective.

I recently got a very generous amount of groceries from the local food pantry, including a lot of fresh veggies that I wouldn't normally buy for myself - I get frozen every time to make sure I don't waste anything/let it go bad but honestly my diet is mostly carbs since it's cheap. I have carrots, baby potatoes, cucumbers, a really shocking amount of onions, and some bell peppers. What's the best way to stretch them as far as possible knowing I may not have access to more fresh veggies for a while (at least until I'm allowed to go back to the food pantry)?

My ideas so far -

• Carrot cake, slice and freeze
• Treat myself to a nice dinner with roast carrots, potatoes, and onions?
• Cucumber sandwiches
• Vegetable soup

As you can see I'm not really sure what to do with a fresh vegetable. Any ideas or should I just try to cook and eat it all as quickly as possible so it doesn't go to waste?
