Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the eggplant slices for 3-4 minutes per side until tender and grill marks appear. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Place the ciabatta halves, cut side down, on the grill for 1-2 minutes just until lightly toasted.
