Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. You should get about 8 slices per eggplant.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into thin rectangular strips, roughly the size of half the length of an eggplant slice.
Place a basil leaf, a slice of ham, and a piece of mozzarella cheese at one end of each eggplant slice. Roll the eggplant tightly around the filling to form a wrap, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Spread half of the tomato sauce evenly across the bottom of a baking dish.
Arrange the eggplant wraps seam side down in the baking dish, then spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the top.
Bake the wraps in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired.
