Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the red bell peppers into quarters, removing seeds and stems.
Slice the zucchini into lengthwise strips about 1/2-inch thick.
Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Clean the Portobello mushrooms and remove the stems.
Husk the corn on the cob.
Slice the Halloumi cheese into 1/2-inch thick slabs.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped rosemary leaves.
Brush the olive oil mixture over all vegetables and Halloumi cheese slices.
Place vegetables and Halloumi on the grill. Grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks. Monitor Halloumi more closely to prevent sticking.
