Add bread crumbs, cheese, Italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to a shallow dish and mix well. In a separate dish, add flour. In a third and separate dish, add eggs and whisk.

Dredge eggplant into the flour, followed by the egg and bread crumb mixture, coating on both sides. Place on plate and let rest for five minutes.

While eggplant is resting, preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 370 degrees. Place the eggplant into the air fryer basket, in a single layer and making sure the eggplant does not touch. Heat for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce on the eggplant and spread evenly. Top with shredded cheese. Return to the air fryer for 2 minutes at 370 degrees.

When cooking is complete, remove from air fryer and serve topped with chopped fresh parsley.
