Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F fan assisted and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cut the puff pastry sheet into 8 even squares.
For each tart, add ½ teaspoon olive oil to the parchment, followed by ½ teaspoon balsamic glaze, a pinch of salt, and a small sprig of thyme.
Arrange red onion slices on top, slightly overlapping, using about 2 to 3 slices per tart. If using bigger onions, use only 2 or 1 thicker one.
Cover each onion stack with puff pastry. Press gently, seal the edges with a fork, and cut two shallow slits on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until deeply golden and fully puffed.
Flip immediately while hot and serve.
