    Summer isn't summer without meals cooked on the BBQ.  When you're looking for vegetarian options though, it's hard pressed to find something outside of the standard veggie burger.

    These halloumi kebabs bring boring old veggie skewers to life by the addition of halloumi cheese and a bright and fresh lemon parsley marinade.  Halloumi cheese is just made for grilling as it holds it's shape and doesn't melt on the grill.

    If you're looking for a great vegetarian grill option this summer, try these tasty skewers even meat eaters will love, and if you are a halloumi fan looking for more recipes be sure to check out our halloumi sandwich!

    How to make halloumi kebabs

    Cut the halloumi cheese into quarters then slice each quarter down the middle lengthwise.

    Half the mushrooms and cut the red pepper and red onion into 8 equally sized pieces

    Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley and chilli flakes then season with salt and pepper to make the marinade.

    Throw the vegetables and halloumi cheese into a bowl and dress with the marinade.

    For the best flavour, allow the veggies and cheese to sit in the marinade in the fridge for an hour or so before grilling.

    If you have long skewers like me, take two of each vegetable and two pieces of cheese and alternate along the skewer to make 4 large skewers, otherwise, make 8 smaller ones.

    Heat your BBQ to 500 degrees, then place the skewers on the grill.

    Cook the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side taking care to move them occasionally to prevent burning.

    • These skewers can be premade ahead of time.  Simply marinate then skewer then store in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to cook them.
