  3. On the prepared baking sheet, scoop out shredded parmesan cheese and form small circles slightly larger than your onion rings.
  4. Carefully place one onion ring atop each parmesan cheese circle on the baking sheet.
  5. Sprinkle an additional tablespoon of shredded parmesan on top of each onion ring and press down gently.
  6. Sprinkle each onion ring with salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and any additional spices you'd like.

  8. Once baked, allow the onion rings to cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes.
