Description
These Mediterranean Veggie Halloumi Skewers are a vibrant and satisfying vegetarian option that bring bold flavor to the grill. Juicy vegetables and salty, golden halloumi are marinated in herbs and olive oil, then grilled to perfection — ideal for cookouts, weeknight dinners, or meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Optional: tzatziki or hummus for serving
Instructions
- Make Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate Ingredients: Add halloumi and vegetables to the bowl and toss gently to coat. Let sit for 15–30 minutes.
- Prepare Skewers: Thread halloumi and veggies onto skewers, alternating ingredients for color and balance.
- Grill: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, turning until halloumi is golden and veggies are tender-crisp.
- Serve: Transfer to a platter and serve warm with optional tzatziki or a drizzle of lemon juice.
Notes
For best results, soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning. Halloumi holds up well to heat and doesn’t melt — making it perfect for grilling. Add mushrooms or eggplant for variety.
