Description
Grilled Halloumi Skewers with Lemon and Thyme are a vibrant and savory appetizer or side dish perfect for summer. Featuring salty halloumi cheese and colorful vegetables, these skewers are marinated in a zesty blend of lemon, thyme, and garlic, then grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add halloumi, zucchini, and bell peppers to the bowl and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Thread halloumi and vegetables onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Grill skewers for 3–4 minutes per side, or until halloumi is golden and veggies are tender.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Use metal skewers to avoid soaking time and for easier handling.
Add fresh rosemary or oregano to the marinade for variety.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze or honey for extra flavor.
Serve over couscous or grains for a complete meal.
