I would cut them in half and dry most of them. If you don't have a dehydrator you can do it in the oven. I store them in freezer bags and just pull out whatever I need when I need it.

Another easy and quick thing would be to freeze them. Drop them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then into an ice bath for another 30 seconds. Slip the skins off and put them into freezer bags leaving 1 inch of head space and toss them in the freezer for chili and soup.

And you can make a big batch of gazpacho if you have some cucumbers and other veggies.
