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, combine the halloumi cubes, zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all ingredients.

03

Thread the halloumi and vegetables alternately onto the prepared skewers.

04

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden brown and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

05

While the skewers are grilling, prepare the mint yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh mint, and lemon juice.

06

Serve the grilled halloumi and vegetable skewers immediately with the mint yogurt sauce on the side.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the halloumi and vegetables for 30 minutes before grilling. A sprinkle of sumac over the finished skewers adds a lovely tangy note.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to use other firm vegetables like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or yellow bell pepper. Feta cheese can be used instead of halloumi, but it will not hold its shape as well when grilled.
