Follow step-by-step with voice guidance.
1. Cut the halloumi cheese into uniform bite-sized cubes, and chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into matching chunky pieces.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Add the chopped vegetables into the bowl and toss gently until they are thoroughly coated in the herb oil.
4. Thread the halloumi cubes, bell pepper chunks, zucchini rounds, and red onion pieces alternately onto wooden or metal skewers.
5. Preheat your outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush the grates lightly with oil.
6. Place the skewers onto the hot grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning occasionally until the vegetables are tender and charred and the halloumi develops golden grill marks.
7. Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a clean serving platter.
8. Drizzle any remaining lemon herb mixture over the warm skewers and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Cut Uniform Sizes: Ensure cheese and vegetables are cut evenly so they touch the grill grates consistently. Soak Wooden Skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning. Watch Closely: Halloumi grills quickly and can burn fast once the sugar and protein brown.
No, halloumi has a very high melting point due to its unique protein structure, which allows it to brown and crisp on the outside while maintaining its firm block shape inside.
