Absolutely. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the halloumi is golden.

The key is a hot, clean, and well-oiled grill. Make sure your grill is fully preheated before placing the skewers on it. A light coating of oil on the grates will also help.
