How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for the listed ingredients. Gather 16 ounces of Halloumi cheese, two zucchinis, two red bell peppers, and one red onion.

Common mistakes
People often forget to soak wooden skewers, which can lead to burning. Skipping the fresh herbs in the yogurt sauce makes the meal less vibrant. Overcrowding the skewers or cutting uneven pieces can cause uneven grilling. Don’t substitute Halloumi with regular cheese—it won’t hold up on the grill. Avoid using stale pita, as it tears easily.
