  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the onions into 1/4-inch rings.
  3. In a bowl, mix the parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each onion ring into the cheese mixture, coating it thoroughly.
  5. Place the coated onion rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Spray lightly with olive oil spray.
