Ingredients

2 Tbsp.
olive oil
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1 1/2 Tbsp.
honey
1 Tbsp.
oregano
2 tsp.
smoked paprika
2 tsp.
ground cumin
2
garlic cloves
2
x 250g blocks halloumi, each block cut into 16 chunks (32 in total)
2
red onions, cut into wedges
1
red pepper, cut into 3cm pieces
1
medium courgette, cut into 1cm rounds

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat your oven to 240°C (220°C fan) or heat your barbecue. Soak the skewers in water to prevent them from burning.
2. Step 2In a jug whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, honey, oregano, paprika, cumin, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add the halloumi, onions, pepper and courgette to a large bowl and add the marinade. Toss to coat then set aside to marinate briefly, or marinade overnight if you prefer.
3. Step 3To cook in the oven, line two large flat baking trays with foil. Divide the halloumi (4 pieces per skewer) and vegetables between the skewers and lay on the foil lined baking trays. Pour over any remaining marinade and roast until golden brown and slightly charred on the edges, 15-20 minutes.
4. Step 4To cook on the barbecue, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely charred and cooked through.
