- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- Beat the eggs in one bowl and mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in another.
- Rinse and dry the eggplant, then dip in egg mixture and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), line a baking sheet, and arrange the breaded slices without touching.
