Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a bowl, toss tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion with melted butter or tallow, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

Spread the seasoned vegetables in a small baking dish. Nestle sliced halloumi on top. Squeeze optional lemon juice over the dish for extra zing.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until veggies are tender and the halloumi is golden brown and crisped at the edges.

Drizzle with olive oil just before serving. Serve hot with a fresh lemon wedge on the side.
