Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
 
Thinly slice the eggplant in discs; salt and drain in a colander, 15-20 minutes.

 
Warm oil with garlic and rosemary to infuse. Brush eggplant on both sides and sprinkle with black and red pepper. Grill eggplant 2-3 minutes on each side until marked and tender. Cool to room temperature.
