Ingredients
– 2 8oz packs of 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 small quarters
– 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
– 1 small 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-Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
2-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 make the marinade.
3-Toss the 2 small zucchinis (cut into 1/2 inch discs), 1 small red onion (cut into small quarters), 2 bell peppers (cut into chunks), and 1 small pint cherry tomatoes (whole) in the marinade to coat. Marinate the vegetables in the fridge for up to 30 minutes or proceed to skewering immediately.
4-Do not marinate the 2 8oz packs of halloumi cheese to avoid making it fragile; simply cut into 1-inch cubes.
5-Preheat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
6-Skewer the halloumi cubes and marinated vegetables alternately, using a gentle twisting motion when threading the halloumi to prevent it from breaking.
7-Brush the skewers with any leftover marinade.
8-Place the skewers on the grill a few inches apart and grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until the cheese chars and the vegetables caramelize.
9-Use a spatula to loosen the halloumi from the grates before flipping to avoid sticking.
10-Remove from the grill when charred and serve warm.
