Seasonal Recipes & Kitchen Stories
Summer Vegetable Bake with Halloumi
This is one of those recipes that should change a little every time you make it. It's less about following an exact list of vegetables and more about using what's abundant at the farmers market, coming out of your garden, or simply waiting in your refrigerator.
The one vegetable I wouldn't skip is the tomato. As everything cooks together, ripe summer tomatoes release their juices and create the flavorful base that brings all of the other vegetables together. Eggplant, peppers, sweet corn, fennel, onion, and celery are what I used here, but zucchini, summer squash, different varieties of peppers, or other summer vegetables would be right at home.
Once the vegetables are tender, everything gets transferred to a baking dish and covered with halloumi. A few minutes under the broiler turns the cheese deeply golden while leaving that wonderfully chewy, salty interior intact.
It's simple summer cooking—the kind where really good vegetables do most of the work for you.
Cook With Us — Live & In the Kitchen
We host relaxed, seasonal cook-alongs on YouTube so you can cook right beside us — asking questions, learning techniques, and having some fun in the kitchen along the way.
We’ve taken a little break on creating new videos but feel free to explore past episodes below anytime the cooking mood strikes. We link our shopping lists in the show notes so you can shop for the video in advance.
