Description
Discover the perfect summer dish with this Citrus-Marinated Halloumi with Grilled Vegetables recipe, combining fresh flavors and healthy ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
- 1 orange, juiced and zested
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 yellow squash, sliced into rounds
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the halloumi slices to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- While the grill is heating, toss the red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Once the grill is hot, add the marinated halloumi slices and the vegetables. Grill the halloumi for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly charred. Grill the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.
- Remove the halloumi and vegetables from the grill. Arrange them on a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- You can substitute the vegetables with your favorites, such as asparagus, mushrooms, or eggplant, for a different flavor profile.
