Slice the eggplant crosswise to make circles, about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle the eggplant slices on both sides with garlic powder, sea salt and black pepper
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat.
Working in batches, add the eggplant slices in a single layer. Saute eggplant for 3-6 minutes per side, until soft, browned and caramelized on both sides
Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices, adding about 1-2 tablespoons of oil per batch
Recipe Note
Don't move the eggplant around, leave the eggplant untouched except when flipping. This will give the eggplant that beautiful, delicious browning.
