Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Peel and slice the eggplant into rounds. I like them pretty thin, but it's really up to you.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs.
In a shallow bowl or pie plate combine the bread crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper.
Dip one eggplant slice in the egg mixture and then immediately into the bread crumb mixture covering both sides of the eggplant with bread crumbs. Repeat with all the eggplant slices.
Lay the eggplant slices on a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper or prepared baking pan.
Spray the tops of the eggplant slices with the non-stick cooking spray.
Bake until the eggplant is golden brown on the bottom; about 8 to 10 minutes.
Flip the slices and spray the tops again with the cooking oil spray.
Continue baking until the eggplant is soft and the tops are crispy.
Remove from oven and transfer to a baking rack or serving platter.
Serve with warm tomato sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Total cooking time really depends on how thick the eggplant slices are. The ones in my photos are pretty thin and cooking time was about 12 minutes total.

A medium-sized eggplant should yield enough slices for four servings.
