Air Fryer Halloumi and Vegetable Skewers

1In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano (1 tsp), garlic powder (½ tsp), red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

2Thread the halloumi cubes, bell pepper squares, zucchini (1 medium) slices, and red onion (1) chunks onto the soaked wooden skewers (8-10), alternating ingredients to ensure even distribution and color.

3Place the assembled skewers on a rimmed baking sheet or large plate and brush them generously on all sides with the prepared marinade, ensuring every surface is coated.

4Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.

5Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation; you may need to cook in two batches depending on your air fryer size.

6Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through the cooking time.

7The skewers are done when the halloumi is golden brown with slightly charred edges and the vegetables are tender-crisp, showing light char marks.

8Remove from the air fryer immediately and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
