Instructions
- Marinate: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add halloumi cubes and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Prepare Skewers: Soak skewers in water for 10 minutes. Thread marinated halloumi, peppers, onion, and zucchini onto skewers.

Notes
- Storage and Freezing: Store cooked kebabs in a covered container in the fridge. Do not freeze as zucchini may become mushy and cheese may lose shape.
