HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

If using wooden skewers, soak 8 skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

02

In a large bowl, combine the halloumi cubes, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion.

03

Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with za'atar, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

04

Thread the halloumi and vegetables alternately onto the prepared skewers.

05

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the hot grill.

06

Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden brown and slightly softened, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to use other firm vegetables like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or eggplant. If you don't have za'atar, a mix of dried oregano and sesame seeds can be a good substitute.
