In a small bowl whisk together 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder , 1/4 tsp pepper and dash of cayenne pepper. Whisk until combined.
Chop your eggplant into 1 inch sized pieces and place into a large mixing bowl. Pour 2 tbsp. olive oil over the egg plant. Then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the eggplant.
Grease a 9 X 11 baking dish– I will usually spray with with avocado oil or olive oil. Layer half of the chopped eggplant at the bottom of the baking dish.
