    Jump to Recipe

    These sweet chilli halloumi kebabs take minutes to prepare and taste great with vegetables, tortellini and halloumi all grilled to perfection.

    The marinade is just sweet chilli sauce and olive oil, so this is a perfect little recipe to put together when you're low on time and need to serve something up for the vegetarians.

    All you do is cut everything into fairly even-sized chunks, push them onto skewers and grill! The results are so tasty, no one will guess they were so simple to make.

    Sweet chilli halloumi kebabs laid on a marble surface with vegetables around the sides.

    Since this is a meat-free recipe, I used store-bought cheese and tomato tortellini, but you can use any filled pasta you like.

    Here's the full recipe for my sweet chilli halloumi kebabs.

    Ingredients

    • 4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
    • 4 tbsp olive oil
    • 100 g (3.5 oz) cheese and tomato tortellini (vegetarian if required) cooked and drained

    • 1 courgette cut in 2-3cm (1 inch) half moons
    • 225 g (8 oz) halloumi cheese (vegetarian if required) cut into 2-3cm (1 inch) pieces

    Equipment

    • Weighing scales
    • Measuring spoons
    • Kitchen knife
    • Chopping board
    • Wooden skewers (soaked in water to prevent burning)
    • Small mixing bowl
    • Whisk
    • Silicone pastry brush
    • Griddle pan
