Ingredients

14 oz Halloumi Cheese cut into 1/2" cubes
¼ cup olive oil plus more for the grill
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
3 cloves garlic; minced
1 ½ tsp dried oregano
2 tsp fresh basil; chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 large red, yellow or orange bell peppers; chopped to 1 1/2" pieces.
2 large zucchini; sliced into 1/2" rounds
1 large red onion; chopped into 1 1/2 inch pieces
8-10 large skewers, metal or wooden

Instructions

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, herbs salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the halloumi and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Soak 8-10 wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated halloumi, peppers, onion and zucchini on skewers. Save the leftover marinade.
Heat BBQ to medium and grease the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the halloumi skewers for 8-10 minutes basting the leftover marinade and rotating halfway through cooking. Remove from the grill and serve hot alone or with tzatziki sauce.

Notes

Storage and Freezing

There are options when it comes to storing the cooked kebabs. You can let them cool completely and then store them in a covered container in the fridge, or you can pull all the cooked ingredients off the skewers and put them in an airtight container in the fridge.

I don’t recommend freezing these skewers because the zucchini might become mushy, and the cheese might lose some of its shape.
