  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 7-8 skewers

Ingredients

– 2 packs (8 oz each) halloumi cheese, cut into large 1-inch cubes

– 2 small zucchinis, cut into 1/2 inch discs

– 1 small red onion, peeled and cut into quarters

– 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks

– 1 pint cherry tomatoes, whole

– 1/4 cup olive oil

– 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

– Juice of 1 whole lemon

– 1 teaspoon honey

– 1 teaspoon dried oregano

– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

– 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

– 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1-Start by soaking wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

2-In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, juice of 1 whole lemon, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to create the marinade.

3-Toss 2 small zucchinis (cut into 1/2 inch discs), 1 small red onion (cut into quarters), 2 bell peppers (cut into chunks), and 1 pint cherry tomatoes (whole) in the marinade. Let them sit for up to 30 minutes, but keep the halloumi cheese out of the marinade to avoid it getting too soft.

4-Preheat your grill to 400ยฐF for that perfect sear on your grilled halloumi skewers.

5-Skewer the 2 packs (8 oz each) of halloumi cheese cubes alternately with the marinated vegetables. Use a gentle twisting motion to thread the halloumi and avoid breakage, then brush the skewers with any leftover marinade.

6-Place the skewers on the grill, spacing them a few inches apart. Grill one side for 5-7 minutes until the halloumi starts to char, and use a spatula to loosen it before flipping with tongs.

7-Grill the other side for another 5 minutes until everything is nicely charred.

8-Remove the skewers from the grill and serve them warm for the best taste.

Notes

๐Ÿ”ฅ Soaking wooden skewers before grilling prevents them from catching fire during cooking.
๐Ÿ”ช Cut vegetables into large enough pieces to stay securely on the skewers and not fall through the grill grates.
๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Use a twisting motion when threading halloumi onto skewers to prevent the cheese from crumbling, and a spatula to loosen it from the grill before flipping.
