Pizza Onion Ring Chips

Making Pizza Onion Ring Chips is incredibly easy and satisfying, taking about 30-40 minutes from prep to plate.

Ingredients

2 large onions, sliced into rings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian style for extra flavor)
1 cup shredded pizza cheese (such as mozzarella or a blend)
Olive oil spray (or halal cooking oil)
Optional toppings: sliced olives, diced bell peppers, mini pepperoni (halal), and Italian herbs

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for getting those chips extra crispy!
Prepare the Onions: Slice your onions into medium-sized rings and set them aside.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your seasoned flour that coats the onions.
Dredge the Onions: Grab one onion ring at a time, coat it in the flour mixture, and shake off any excess.
Prepare the Breadcrumbs: Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip each floured onion ring into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and arrange the coated onion rings in a single layer.
Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the onion rings with olive oil; this helps to ensure they turn golden brown.
Bake: Place your baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the onion rings are crispy and golden brown. Halfway through, flip the rings for even baking.
Add Cheese and Toppings: Pull the baking sheet out of the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese and any favorite toppings over the onion rings. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve with dipping sauces of your choice, like marinara or ranch dressing!
