Intro

These Sumac Grilled Halloumi Skewers are everything you want in a quick, impressive appetizer—bold, colorful, and full of Mediterranean flavor. The tang of sumac balances the salty richness of the grilled halloumi, while red bell peppers and zucchini add smokiness and texture. Whether you’re serving these at a barbecue, picnic, or mezze platter, they’re guaranteed to be a hit.

Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese, cut into large cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1.5″ pieces
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground sumac
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes if grilling)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, toss the halloumi cubes and chopped vegetables with olive oil, sumac, and black pepper. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to absorb.
  2. Assemble the Skewers
    Thread the marinated ingredients onto the skewers, alternating between cheese, zucchini, and bell pepper. Leave a bit of space between each piece to ensure even grilling.
  3. Grill the Skewers
    Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the halloumi is golden with grill marks.
  4. Finish and Serve
    Remove skewers from heat. Serve warm with a drizzle of lemon juice or pomegranate molasses.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with herbed yogurt or tzatziki dip.
  • Add to a grain salad or wrap in warm flatbread with greens.
  • Sprinkle with fresh mint or parsley for a burst of freshness.
