Ingredients

Skewers:

Marinade:

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers or bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water for 10-30 minutes before using them. This helps to ensure they do not burn on the grill. Metal skewers do not need any preparation.
  2. On a cutting board, using a sharp knife, cut the halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes, slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds, and cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch squares. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
  4. Add the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl of marinade, and gently toss until well coated.
  5. Thread the cubes of halloumi and marinated veggies onto skewers, alternating between them as desired, until all of the cheese and vegetables have been used. Brush any excess marinade onto the skewers.
  6. Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat, and lightly brush the grill grates with oil.
  7. Add the skewers to the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the veggies are tender and the cheese has grill marks.
  8. Once cooked, the skewers can be served immediately or cooled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
