Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large store-bought flatbreads or naan
  • 8 oz (225 g) halloumi cheese, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into rings
  • 8 oz (225 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ear of corn, husked and sliced into rounds (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing flatbread
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F / 190-200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss zucchini slices, bell pepper quarters, onion rings, cherry tomatoes, and corn rounds with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grill the vegetables, turning every 2-3 minutes until tender and lightly charred, about 8-10 minutes total.
  4. Brush halloumi slices lightly with olive oil and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy on the edges but still a little soft inside.
  5. Brush both sides of each flatbread with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place flatbreads on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side until warmed through and slightly crispy with grill marks.
  6. Remove flatbreads from the grill and layer the grilled vegetables evenly on top. Arrange the halloumi slices over the veggies. Sprinkle fresh herbs and a pinch of red chili flakes if desired. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything.
  7. Optionally, place the assembled flatbreads back on the grill for 1-2 minutes to warm the cheese through and meld the flavors.
  8. Slice the flatbread pizzas into portions and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Keep halloumi slices about 1/4 inch thick to avoid rubbery texture. Brush veggies and flatbread well with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote crispiness. Grill veggies first, then halloumi, then flatbread to keep everything warm and prevent cheese from drying out. Add fresh herbs just before serving to maintain their vibrancy. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure proper charring.
