Instructions

1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. In a large bowl, combine the halloumi cubes, zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
2
Thread the halloumi and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers. Aim for 4-5 skewers depending on size.
3
Prepare the mint yogurt dip: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped fresh mint, lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating frequently, until the halloumi is golden brown and slightly charred, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two. Serve hot with the chilled mint yogurt dip on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake these skewers instead of grilling?

Yes, you can bake them. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the halloumi is golden and vegetables are tender.

What other vegetables can I use?

Feel free to customize with other quick-cooking vegetables like mushrooms, small broccoli florets, or even asparagus tips. Ensure they are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.

How long can the mint yogurt dip be stored?

The mint yogurt dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Stir well before serving.
