Marissa's MediterraneanWarm, salty halloumi cheese cubes charred to perfection and threaded with juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh mint leaves. It's the ultimate zesty, high-protein appetizer that's ready in minutes.
Soak small wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
Thread one cube of halloumi, one mint leaf (folded), and one cherry tomato onto each skewer. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Brush the skewers generously with the lemon-herb oil mixture.
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place skewers in the pan and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until the cheese is golden brown and softened.
The cheese should have beautiful dark grill marks!
Don't skip the step of soaking the wooden skewers, or they'll char before the cheese gets melty! For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon-herb oil. Healthy made easy!
