Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams reduced-fat halloumi cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Slice the reduced-fat halloumi cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh oregano, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create a marinade.
Place the halloumi slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each slice is well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly coat the grates with non-stick cooking spray.
Remove the halloumi slices from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Place the halloumi slices onto the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the cheese is warmed through.
Transfer the grilled halloumi to a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, low-fat grilled halloumi as an appetizer, side, or light meal!
