Instructions

Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Cut the halloumi cheese into 1-inch cubes. Chop the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into similar-sized pieces.

In a large bowl, combine the halloumi cubes and chopped vegetables. Pour the lemon-herb marinade over them and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, at room temperature.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated halloumi and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F / 200-230°C). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden brown and slightly softened, and the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly charred.

Remove skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
