  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on baking sheet. Spray with olive oil cooking spray. Slice ends off of eggplant and peel skin off with a vegetable peeler. Slice into ½ inch pieces.
  2. In a shallow container, add eggs and water. Whisk to combine. In a separate container, add breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning and onion powder. Mix together. Dip eggplant slices into egg mixture. Let excess drip off and then dip into breadcrumbs. Coat evenly with breadcrumbs, pressing them onto the sides.
