Start by washing the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant thoroughly under running water.
Cut the red bell pepper into strips, and the zucchini and eggplant into thin slices.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper together.
Toss the sliced vegetables in the olive oil mixture until well coated.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the vegetables are grilling, spread low-sodium hummus evenly on all slices of whole-grain bread.
Once the vegetables are grilled, begin assembling the sandwiches by layering the grilled vegetables on two hummus-spread slices of bread.
Top with lettuce leaves for an added crunch and freshness.
Finish by placing the remaining slices of bread on top to form the sandwiches.
Optionally, cut the sandwiches in half for easier handling and serve immediately.
