Combine coriander and cumin in a small skillet over medium heat; cook 1 1/2 minutes or until toasted. Combine coriander mixture, black pepper, red pepper, and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Partially peel eggplant lengthwise with a vegetable peeler, leaving long stripes. Cut eggplant crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; lightly coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with remaining spice mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange eggplant on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until just tender.
