You don’t need meat to make a tasty kebab! These Minty Halloumi and Vegetable Kebabs are every bit as tasty as they are colourful. The skewers of red pepper, red onion, courgette and halloumi are finished with a drizzle of fresh minty sauce that brings the whole dish to life.
Halloumi is the perfect meat alternative in this recipe – it has a satisfying bite and it doesn’t melt when you cook it. The salty flavour works so well with our zingy minty dip! If you’re making this recipe for vegetarians, bear in mind that halloumi cheese can sometimes contain rennet. Check the packaging to make sure it’s suitable for vegetarians.
These can be cooked on the grill as well as on the barbecue, so they’re perfect for any time of year. Enjoy them with some side salad in the sunshine, or serve with some hearty Homemade Oven Chips in the colder seasons.

How many calories are in these Minty Halloumi and Vegetable Kebabs?
There are 116 calories in each of these Minty Halloumi and Vegetable Kebabs, which means this recipe falls into our Everyday Light category. If you’re counting calories or following one of the popular diet plans like Weight Watchers, this recipe fits in perfectly!
NHS guidelines suggest men should aim for 2,500 calories per day to maintain a healthy body weight, and women require around 2000 calories. Each person has different calorie requirements depending on their goal, so you may want to adjust your daily calorie intake according to your own personal goal.
Step 1
Place the wooden kebab skewers in water and leave to soak for about 20 minutes. This will stop the skewers burning when they go under the grill or on the barbecue. Remove the skewers from the water and drain well.
Step 2
Place the halloumi, red pepper, red onion, courgette, mint, lime zest, lime juice, cayenne pepper and garlic granules in a medium mixing bowl. Season well with salt and black pepper and toss to coat. Cover and leave to marinate on the work surface for about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Thread the marinated halloumi and vegetables onto 8 wooden skewers. Preheat the grill on a medium setting or heat up your barbecue.
Step 4
While the grill or barbecue is preheating, make the mint dip. Place the yoghurt, mint, lime juice, and garlic granules in a small bowl. Mix well and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
Step 5
Place the kebabs on the grill pan rack and spray well on all sides with low calorie cooking spray. Place under the grill for about 13 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden brown, and the vegetables are tender, but not too soft. Alternatively, you can cook the kebabs on the barbecue. You may need to grill the kebabs in two batches depending on the size of your grill pan.
Step 6
Serve the kebabs drizzled with the mint dip and with other accompaniments of your choice.
What could I serve with these Minty Halloumi and Vegetable Kebabs?
