Print Recipe

Sweet, spicy, salty, and smoky grilled halloumi skewers with honey glaze, jalapeño, and charred peach slices, perfect for summer BBQs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 1 medium fresh jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 ripe but firm peaches, sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (wooden soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Cut the halloumi into 1-inch cubes and place in a mixing bowl. Slice peaches into 1/2-inch wedges and set aside. Finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds if desired.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, chopped jalapeño, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until combined to make the glaze.
  3. Pour about half of the honey glaze over the halloumi cubes and toss gently to coat. Let sit while prepping peaches.
  4. Thread halloumi and peach slices alternately onto skewers, aiming for 3-4 pieces of halloumi and 3-4 peach wedges per skewer. Brush peaches lightly with olive oil.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with remaining honey glaze. Look for crispy golden edges on halloumi and char marks on peaches.
  7. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with extra lime juice or fresh herbs like chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Use medium heat to avoid melting halloumi too quickly. Brush glaze on during last minutes of grilling to prevent burning the honey. Let cheese rest briefly after grilling for best texture.
