Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 8 oz halloumi cheese (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 red bell pepper (cut into chunks)
- 1 zucchini (sliced into thick rounds or half-moons)
- 1 small red onion (cut into chunks)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon wedges and fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Kebabs: In a large bowl, combine halloumi, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- Skewer and Grill: Thread the halloumi and vegetables onto skewers, alternating for color and variety. Grill the kebabs for 2–3 minutes per side until the halloumi is golden and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges and fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Halloumi holds its shape when grilled, making it ideal for kebabs.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- You can add cherry tomatoes or mushrooms for extra variety.
