Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring the paper extends slightly beyond the edges for easier handling.

Evenly spread the shredded Parmesan cheese over the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin, consistent layer. This will be the base for your onion bites.

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.

Lightly brush or spray the arranged onion rings with olive oil. Then, generously sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika (or chili powder) over the oiled onions.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and crispy, and the onion rings are tender and slightly caramelized. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

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.
