Ingredients

• 250 grams Halloumi cheese
• 1 whole Red bell pepper
• 1 whole Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the Halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Deseed the red and yellow bell peppers, then cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and cut it into 1-inch wedges, keeping the layers intact as much as possible.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Add the Halloumi cubes and chopped vegetables into a large bowl. Pour the marinade over them and toss gently to coat. Let the mixture marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated Halloumi and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces for variety and balance.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, and the Halloumi is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve immediately. These are delicious on their own or paired with a side of couscous or salad.
