Grill-Fired Halloumi & Veggie Skewers

Ingredients

  • 12 oz halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch thick half-moons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the halloumi, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini.

  3. 3

    Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat everything evenly.

  4. 4

    Thread the halloumi and vegetables alternately onto the skewers, ensuring a mix of ingredients on each.

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).

  6. 6

    Place the skewers directly on the preheated grill grates.

  7. 7

    Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until the halloumi is golden brown and the vegetables are tender-crisp with nice char marks.

  8. 8

    Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Why this recipe works best on a clean grill

A clean grill makes this recipe easier because the grates release food evenly, the heat moves predictably, and old grease does not smoke over the fresh ingredients. When carbon buildup sits on the grate, it can leave bitter flavors, create flare-ups, and make delicate foods stick right when they should sear.

Before cooking, preheat the grill fully, scrape the grate with a bristle-free tool, and lightly oil the surface. If your grill has yellow flames, heavy smoke, stubborn hot spots, or a greasy smell before the food goes on, it may need a deeper cleaning before your next cookout.
