Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp sumac, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Add 10 oz halloumi cubes and 1 lb asparagus pieces to the marinade and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Thread halloumi and asparagus alternately onto 6 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
  4. Step 4: Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until the halloumi is golden with grill marks and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Remove skewers to a serving platter, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.
