  • Uniquely delicious with the texture of grilled cheese.
  • Quick to prepare, ideal for busy weeknights.
  • Versatile and healthy, perfect for any diet.

Ingredients

  • Halloumi cheese – 250g, cut into cubes
  • Cherry tomatoes – 200g, halved

  • Bell peppers – 1, cut into chunks
  • Olive oil – 2 tbsp
  • Fresh oregano – 1 tsp, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • Salt & pepper – to taste

How to Make

Start by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium heat. In a large bowl, mix the cubed halloumi, halved cherry tomatoes, zucchini rounds, and bell pepper chunks. Drizzle with olive oil, add chopped oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the cheese and vegetables are well coated. Thread the halloumi and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between cheese and veggies for a colorful presentation. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, carefully turning halfway through, until the halloumi is golden brown and the vegetables are tender. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips

  • Use metal or soaked wooden skewers for best results.
  • For added flavor, marinate the halloumi in lemon juice before grilling.
  • Mix and match your favorite veggies!

Make-Ahead

Prep the skewers and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to grill. They can be made 1-2 days in advance for a quick weeknight meal.

Storing

Leftover skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing

Feel free to freeze the uncooked skewers; they will last for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before grilling.

Reheating

To reheat leftovers, place skewers in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

These grilled halloumi skewers pair excellently with a fresh green salad, or you can serve them alongside a light dip such as tzatziki or hummus. They also make for a great appetizer at parties!
