These baked onion rings are the sort of snack that disappears while everyone is still standing around the tray. Chooki's Original Chicken Salt goes into the crumb so every ring gets that chip-shop savoury hit without needing a deep fryer.

Step 1: Prep

Heat the oven to 220°C fan and line two trays with baking paper. Separate the onion slices into rings, keeping the bigger pieces for crumbing and saving the tiny centres for another cook.

Step 2: Crumb

Put the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in a second bowl, and the crumbs, Chooki's Original Chicken Salt, and smoked paprika in a third. Coat each onion ring in flour, dip it in egg, then press it into the seasoned crumbs so the outside is properly covered.

Step 3: Bake

Lay the rings on the trays with a little space between them. Spray well with olive oil, then bake for 18-22 minutes, turning once, until the crumbs are golden and the onion is tender.

Step 4: Serve

Stack the hot onion rings on a board and serve with ranch dip. Add one tiny pinch of Chooki's Original Chicken Salt over the top while they are still hot so it sticks.

Tip: If the crumbs are not browning by the 15 minute mark, move the tray to the top shelf for the last few minutes.
