Instructions
Prepare the glaze
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, wholegrain mustard, olive oil, thyme, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Marinate the ingredients
Add the halloumi cubes, red pepper, onion, and courgette ribbons to the bowl. Toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated. Allow to marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Assemble the Skewers
Thread the marinated halloumi and vegetables onto skewers, alternating for a colourful mix.
Preheat and Grill
Heat your barbecue or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden and the glaze has caramelised.
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Drizzle with a little extra glaze if desired, sprinkle with fresh thyme, and serve hot.
