BBQ GLAZED HALLOUMI AND VEGGIE SKEWERS

BBQ Glazed Halloumi and Veggie Skewers are a delicious, smoky and slightly sweet vegetarian dish that’s perfect for summer grilling. The halloumi cheese develops a golden, crispy exterior while staying wonderfully soft inside, absorbing the rich BBQ sauce as it caramelises on the grill. Pair it with the natural sweetness of red bell peppers and the mild, tender bite of zucchini. These skewers offer a perfect balance of textures and flavours. Whether served as an appetiser, a side dish or a light main course, they bring a smoky, savoury touch to any BBQ spread. Quick to prepare and requiring only a handful of ingredients, they’re ideal for busy weeknights, weekend cookouts or as a meat-free alternative at gatherings. Serve BBQ Glazed Halloumi and Veggie Skewers with a chilled yoghurt dip, fresh salad or warm pita bread for a Mediterranean-inspired feast that’s sure to impress.

TIPS

Here are some tips for the preparation of BBQ Glazed Halloumi and Veggie Skewers:

  • Prevent sticking: Lightly oil the grill before placing the skewers to avoid halloumi sticking.
  • Even cooking: Cut the halloumi and veggies into similar sizes to ensure everything cooks at the same rate.
  • Maximise flavour: Marinate the halloumi in BBQ sauce for 15 minutes before grilling for extra depth.
  • Skewer safety: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Alternative cooking method: Roast in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy kick: Add a pinch of chilli flakes to the BBQ sauce for extra heat.
  • Citrus boost: Squeeze fresh lemon over the skewers before serving for a bright, zesty contrast.
  • Herb twist: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or oregano on top before serving.
  • Different veggies: Swap zucchini and bell pepper for mushrooms, cherry tomatoes or red onions.
  • Balsamic glaze: Use a balsamic reduction instead of BBQ sauce for a tangy alternative.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Uncooked skewers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours before grilling.
  • Cooked skewers: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing option: Freeze uncooked skewers without the BBQ sauce for up to 2 months. Thaw before grilling.
  • Reheating tip: Warm in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes.
