Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
- 200g halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the lemon drizzle:
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the zucchini slices and halloumi cubes in the marinade and let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the zucchini and halloumi onto skewers alternately. Grill the skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the vegetables are tender and the cheese has nice grill marks.
Making the Lemon Drizzle
While the skewers are grilling, prepare the lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and olive oil until well combined. Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste. If desired, add chopped parsley for extra freshness.
Serving Suggestions
Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the lemon mixture and garnish with additional parsley if desired. These skewers pair well with a side of couscous, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
Enjoy your vibrant, flavorful grilled zucchini and halloumi skewers, perfect for summer gatherings or a quick, satisfying meal!
