Instructions

1. Start by prepping all your veggies. Wash and chop the bell peppers and zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Peel and quarter the red onion.
2. Cut the halloumi cheese into similarly sized pieces to ensure even grilling.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped mint, salt, and pepper. This acts as your marinade.
4. Add the halloumi and veggies into the bowl. Ensure each piece gets a good coating of the marinade.
5. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers ingredients to absorb the flavors.
6. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Ensure it’s clean and greased to prevent sticking.
7. Thread the marinated halloumi and veggies onto skewers. Alternate between the halloumi and different vegetables.
8. Place the skewers on the grill. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side or until the halloumi is golden and veggies are slightly charred.
9. Once done, remove from the grill and let it sit for a minute or two.

Tips

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.
2. For an added flavor kick, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the marinade.
3. Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers are best served fresh off the grill. However, if preparing ahead, ensure they’re properly refrigerated.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve the Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers on a bed of fresh greens, drizzled with a touch more olive oil and lemon juice.
• A side of grilled pita or whole grain bread complements the skewers perfectly.
• If looking for a dip, a fresh tzatziki or hummus pairs brilliantly with this dish.
• To quench your thirst, opt for a refreshing mint and cucumber infused water.

Crafted with care and precision, these Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers are the epitome of healthy indulgence. Perfect for a summer BBQ or a fancy dinner, they promise a culinary journey worth remembering. As always, AH7 is committed to ensuring you stay fit, satiated, and joyful. Cheers to healthy eating!
