For the Marinade:
- 14 oz Halloumi Cheese cut into 1/2' cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Kebabs:
- 2 large red, yellow, or orange bell peppers, chopped into 1 1/2' pieces
- 2 large zucchinis, sliced into 1/2' rounds
- 1 large red onion, chopped into 1 1/2' pieces
- 8-10 large skewers, metal or wooden
Instructions
- Marinate the Halloumi: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add halloumi cubes, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Prepare the Skewers: Soak skewers in water for 10 minutes. Thread marinated halloumi, peppers, zucchini, and onion onto skewers.
- Grill the Kebabs: Heat BBQ to medium, grease the grill with olive oil. Grill kebabs for 8-10 minutes, basting with leftover marinade and rotating halfway through cooking.
- Serve: Remove from grill and serve hot, alone or with tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- Storage and Freezing: Store cooked kebabs in a covered container in the fridge. Do not freeze to avoid mushy zucchini and cheese texture changes.
