Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Halloumi cheese
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 12 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the Halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds, chop the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, and cut the red onion into similar-sized chunks.
In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the Halloumi cubes, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion to the marinade. Stir gently to coat all the pieces. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill or grill pan.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the Halloumi, zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients for variety and color.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly charred and the Halloumi has grill marks and is golden brown.
Serve hot as a main dish or side, optionally garnished with a squeeze of fresh lemon or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or mint.
