# Pizza Onion Rings

Here is a snack that treats frozen onion rings as ready-made pizza bases: crisp breaded rings under melted mozzarella and pepperoni, straight from a 180°C (350°F) oven in 20 minutes. Spread the rings in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray so hot air can crisp the breading instead of steaming it under the cheese. Grate the mozzarella yourself; it melts smoother and stretches better than pre-shredded. Check the timing on your onion ring bag, and if the rings need more than 20 minutes, bake them alone for a few minutes before adding the toppings. They are done when the cheese is bubbling across the tray.

## FAQ

### Can I use fresh onion rings?

This recipe is built for the shortcut of frozen, pre-breaded rings. For fresh, bread and bake them until crisp first, then add cheese and pepperoni to melt.

### Should I cook the onion rings first?

If your frozen rings need longer than 20 minutes, give them a head start in the oven before adding cheese, so they are crisp by the time the cheese melts.

### What toppings can I add?

Anything pizza — a little pizza sauce, olives, peppers or extra cheese. Keep it light so the rings stay crisp under the toppings.
