Greek Lemon And Oregano Halloumi Skewers

Bringing the fresh, vibrant flavours of the Greek islands straight to your grill, these Greek Lemon & Oregano Halloumi Skewers are a true Mediterranean delight. Halloumi, with its golden, crispy exterior and warm, chewy interior, is the perfect base for a zesty, herb-laden marinade. The cheese is bathed in a fragrant mixture of fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and oregano—a classic Greek flavour combination that’s both bright and aromatic.

The Cherry Tomatoes Make The Difference

Alongside the halloumi, the skewers feature tender cherry tomatoes that burst with sweet juiciness, thick slices of red onion that soften to a delicate sweetness, and crisp courgette ribbons that char beautifully over the heat. As the skewers grill, the halloumi develops those signature golden, caramelised edges, while the vegetables soak up the zesty marinade, becoming smoky and succulent.

This Will Be A Vegetarian BBQ Skewer Favourite

These skewers are a perfect addition to any summer barbecue, but they’re just as easy to make indoors on a stovetop grill pan. Serve them with a drizzle of extra lemon juice, a sprinkle of fresh oregano, and a side of Refreshing Cucumber Tomato Salad, Grilled Mediterranean Vegetables with Feta, or Greek Lemon Herb Rice for a complete Greek feast.
