Step 2
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Place the eggplant slices on a large plate or tray and sprinkle them evenly with salt on both sides. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Brush each eggplant slice lightly with the seasoned olive oil on both sides.
Step 8
Dip each slice into the Parmesan and panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks evenly.
Step 9
Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 10
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
