Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into even pieces for even grilling.
Season the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat the grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Grill the vegetables: Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until tender and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
Grill the halloumi: Place the halloumi slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown grill marks appear.
Assemble and serve: Arrange the grilled vegetables and halloumi on a plate. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Chef's Tips
- Dry the halloumi: Pat the halloumi dry before grilling to ensure a better sear and prevent sticking.
- Grill temperature: Make sure the grill is hot enough before adding the halloumi to get those perfect grill marks.
- Vegetable variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like eggplant, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes.
- Serving suggestion: Drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze or honey for extra flavor.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
