Carefully separate the thinly sliced onion rings. Arrange individual onion rings directly on top of the shredded Parmesan cheese layer, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping too much. You may need to use two baking sheets depending on the size of your onion and sheet.

Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the Crispy Parmesan Onion Bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. As they cool, the cheese will firm up, fusing with the onion to create a crispy bite. They can be served whole or broken into smaller pieces.
