Instructions

1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until combined.
2Add the about 450 g of halloumi cheese (cubed), 3 medium bell peppers (cubed), 1 medium red onion (cubed), 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, and 2 medium zucchini (sliced) to the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
3Let the halloumi cheese and vegetables marinate in the bowl for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
4Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 176.7-204.4°C (175-200°C).
5Thread the marinated halloumi cheese and vegetable pieces onto skewers, alternating them for an even distribution of ingredients.
6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the halloumi cheese is golden brown and slightly softened, and the vegetables are tender and have light grill marks.
7Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately while hot.
