Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Plant-Based Halloumi
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the plant-based halloumi into 1/2 inch thick pieces. This will ensure they grill evenly and maintain their shape.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the halloumi slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the halloumi slices to marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning them once to ensure they are well-coated.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a pan, place it over medium-high heat on your stovetop.
Once the grill or pan is hot, place the marinated halloumi slices on the surface. Grill each side for approximately 3-5 minutes or until they develop a golden brown crust and light grill marks.
Once grilled, remove the halloumi from the grill or pan. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the grilled halloumi warm as an appetizer, a side dish, or over a fresh salad for a delightful, dairy-free meal.
