Sprinkle tomatillos with salt and pepper. Combine flour, garlic powder and Creole (or Cajun) seasoning in a shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in another dish. Put breadcrumbs in a third dish. Dredge the tomatillos in the flour mixture, dip in the egg and then coat both sides with breadcrumbs. Place on the prepared baking sheet and generously coat with cooking spray.

Bake the tomatillos, turning once, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine ketchup and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Serve the tomatillos with the dipping sauce.
Tips
Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.
