Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers: 5 Savory Secrets


  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

These grilled halloumi and vegetable skewers are a delightful combination of savory halloumi cheese and fresh vegetables, perfect for summer barbecues or a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the halloumi cubes, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the vegetables and halloumi evenly.
  5. Thread the halloumi and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the cheese and vegetables.
  6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the skewers in the olive oil and oregano mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables, such as mushrooms or asparagus.
  • These skewers can be served with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad.
