Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers with Lemon-Herb Marinade

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Halloumi Cheese
• 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 medium Red Onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
• 1/4 cup Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Oregano
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons fresh oregano, 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined. This creates your lemon-herb marinade.
2. 2Cut the 8 ounces halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 1 medium red onion into 1-inch wedges. Cut the 1 medium zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Cut the 1 medium yellow bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.
3. 3Thread the halloumi cheese cubes, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, red onion wedges, zucchini pieces, and yellow bell pepper pieces onto skewers, alternating the ingredients. You should have about 4-6 skewers.
4. 4Place the prepared skewers on a baking sheet or platter and brush them generously on all sides with the lemon-herb marinade you made in step 1.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 350-400°F (175-200°C).
6. 6Place the marinated skewers on the preheated grill. Grill 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 grill marks. The halloumi should be heated through.
7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and serve them immediately.
