Ingredients
- 200 g Plant-Based Halloumi
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the plant-based halloumi into 1/2 inch thick pieces. This will ensure they grill evenly and maintain their shape.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the halloumi slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the halloumi slices to marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning them once to ensure they are well-coated.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a pan, place it over medium-high heat on your stovetop.
Step 5
Once the grill or pan is hot, place the marinated halloumi slices on the surface. Grill each side for approximately 3-5 minutes or until they develop a golden brown crust and light grill marks.
Step 6
Once grilled, remove the halloumi from the grill or pan. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled halloumi warm as an appetizer, a side dish, or over a fresh salad for a delightful, dairy-free meal.
