Description

These delightful kebabs offer a symphony of flavors and textures, making them a wonderful choice for a satisfying lunch or dinner. Imagine tender pieces of zucchini and salty halloumi cheese, infused with the bright and aromatic essence of garlic, lemon, and thyme. This vibrant marinade penetrates each ingredient, creating a deeply flavorful experience with every bite.

The halloumi, known for its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked, takes center stage in these kebabs. Each cube of halloumi is lovingly wrapped in crispy bacon, adding a smoky richness and a delightful textural contrast to the savory cheese. These bacon-wrapped treasures are then carefully threaded onto skewers, alternating with the marinated zucchini, creating a colorful and appetizing presentation.

Baked in the oven until golden brown and slightly caramelized, the kebabs offer a delightful combination of soft zucchini, salty halloumi, and crispy bacon. The aroma alone is enough to entice, promising a truly memorable meal. Serve these kebabs as a light and refreshing lunch alongside a crisp salad, or enjoy them as a hearty dinner with a side of cauliflower rice.

Their versatility also makes them a fantastic addition to any barbecue, where they can be grilled to perfection and served with your favorite sides. The combination of fresh vegetables, salty cheese, and smoky bacon is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, offering a balance of flavors and textures that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized. Feel free to experiment with other firm cheeses such as queso blanco or paneer, adjusting cooking times as needed to achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.

Enjoy the process of creating these flavorful kebabs, and savor the delicious results with every bite.

Instructions

    1.
    Dice the halloumi into 8 even-sized portions. Dice the zucchini into 12 half-inch thick, even-sized chunks. Add the halloumi and zucchini to a mixing bowl. Add the thyme leaves, garlic powder, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. While marinating, soak 4 wooden kebab skewers in water.
    2.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take a piece of marinated halloumi and wrap it tightly in a slice of bacon. Repeat with the remaining bacon and halloumi.
    3.
    Take a wooden skewer and thread it with a piece of marinated zucchini, then some bacon-wrapped halloumi, another piece of zucchini, another piece of halloumi, and a final piece of zucchini. Repeat with the remaining ingredients on the other three skewers.
    4.
    Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. The halloumi and zucchini should be tender, and the bacon should be crisp and golden. Serve with your favorite Keto sides.
