A quick and easy recipe for grilled halloumi and vegetable skewers perfect for summer BBQs, combining fresh Mediterranean flavors with a satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225g) halloumi cheese, firm block, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and quartered
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, whole
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 to 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Wash and chop bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes into evenly sized pieces.
  3. Cut halloumi into 1-inch cubes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  5. Toss halloumi cubes and chopped vegetables separately in the marinade and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  6. Thread marinated ingredients onto soaked skewers, alternating halloumi, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  7. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and oil the grates.
  8. Grill skewers for 5-6 minutes per side until halloumi is golden-brown and veggies are tender but crisp.
  9. Remove skewers from heat, optionally squeeze extra lemon juice over them and sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or mint.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Use medium-high heat for even cooking. Turn skewers often to avoid burning. Oil grill grates well to prevent halloumi from sticking. For dairy-free, substitute halloumi with firm tofu marinated similarly.
