Grill the veggies:
- Heat the grill to a medium flame, about 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl drizzle your veggies with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables to a grill basket on one side of the grill. Spray or brush the other side with a little bit of oil and add the Halloumi to the grill.
