HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

If using wooden skewers, soak 4 skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.

02

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.

03

Add the cubed halloumi, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

04

Thread the halloumi and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers.

05

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

06

Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating occasionally, until the halloumi is golden brown and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

07

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or mint after grilling. You can also add cherry tomatoes or mushrooms to the skewers for more variety.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Feta cheese can be used instead of halloumi, though it will be softer and less firm when grilled. Other vegetables like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or yellow bell pepper work well. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
