Ingredients

• 250 grams Halloumi cheese
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.

Step 2

Cut the halloumi cheese into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into roughly 2.5 cm (1-inch) pieces. Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, making sure the pieces are large enough to skewer.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the halloumi cubes and chopped vegetables to a large bowl. Pour the marinade over them and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

Thread the marinated halloumi, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, and the halloumi is golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. These kebabs pair well with a side of tzatziki, a green salad, or warm pita bread.
