Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers with Lemon-Herb Marinade

Ingredients

• 1 8 oz block Halloumi cheese
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 2 medium Bell peppers (various colors)
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 teaspoons Fresh oregano
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 block (8 oz) Halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 1 medium Zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Cut the 2 medium Bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. If the 1 medium Red onion is large, cut it in half. Leave the 1 pint Cherry tomatoes whole.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0.25 cup Olive oil, 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, 2 cloves minced Garlic, 2 teaspoons Fresh oregano, 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, 0.5 teaspoon Salt, and 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper until combined.
3. 3Add the cubed Halloumi cheese, zucchini pieces, bell pepper pieces, red onion pieces, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. 4While the ingredients are marinating, preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C).
5. 5Thread the marinated halloumi cubes and vegetable pieces onto skewers, alternating the ingredients. Aim for about 4-6 pieces of halloumi and a mix of vegetables per skewer.
6. 6Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, and the halloumi cheese is golden brown and softened.
7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
