Preparation Steps

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
Cut the halloumi cheese into uniform 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Coat the cubed halloumi in the marinade and let sit for about 15-20 minutes.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into chunks similar in size to the halloumi cubes.
Thread the marinated halloumi, bell pepper chunks, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat around 375°F (190°C).
Place the assembled skewers on the hot grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Brush the skewers with any remaining marinade while grilling.
Once grilled, remove from the grill and let rest before serving.
