Ingredients
- 400 grams Vegan haloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the vegan haloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices to ensure even grilling.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Carefully coat each slice of vegan haloumi with the prepared marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4
While the cheese is marinating, finely chop the fresh parsley, mint, and oregano, and set aside.
Step 5
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated vegan haloumi slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Grill each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown grill marks appear, then flip and grill the other side.
Step 7
Once grilled, remove the slices and immediately sprinkle the fresh herbs over the top, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the herbs.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with additional lemon zest if desired, and serve warm.
