INGREDIENTS
1 block halloumi (approx. 180g)
4 wooden or metal skewers
Neutral oil, for brushing
Sea salt flakes
Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley, mint, or oregano), for garnish
METHOD
1.
Preheat your BBQ to a high heat.
2.
Slice the halloumi into four even lengths.
3.
Thread each halloumi piece lengthwise onto a skewer.
4.
Brush the skewers lightly with oil and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
5.
Grill, turning every 1–2 minutes, until all sides are golden and crispy.
6.
Serve immediately with a little extra sea salt and a scattering of fresh herbs, if desired.
Tips
Hot grill, happy halloumi. Preheat your BBQ properly; the hotter the grill, the better the crispy golden edges.
Oil lightly. A little brush of neutral oil prevents sticking without weighing the halloumi down.
Skewer safely. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10–15 minutes to prevent burning.
Make it fancy. Sprinkle chopped parsley, oregano, or a pinch of chili flakes for an extra pop of flavour and colour.
Pair with charred vegetables, warm pita, or your favourite summer dips for a complete crowd-pleasing platter.
