Gather your ingredients. Prepare the calabrian hot honey recipe first, then begin halloumi kabob recipe. Set the oven to 400 degrees.
Place the bamboo skewers in a container of water (so that they become saturated and do not burn on the grill or in a pan).
Open the pack of halloumi, where the cheese is folded over.
Separate the two halves. Cut each piece in half (a pack makes two kabobs).
Cut the zucchini into half in rings.
Cut the red onion into 1-inch pieces, as thick and size of your thumb.
Lightly salt and oil the onions, cherry tomatoes, and zucchinis.
Par roast, bake for 5 minutes at 400 degrees to cook it off.
Take the skewers out of the water.
Skew the first piece of halloumi cheese on the thin wedge side, followed with the red onion, zucchini, and then the cherry tomato. repeat four more time. Once assembled, the halloumi kabob can be grilled, pan seared, or even baked.
You can serve with rice, couscous, any grain or base. Other sauce options are chutneys or glazes. We will top ours with two spoons of our Calabrian hot honey. Lastly, garnish with picked cilantro and mint.
