Sheet Pan Zaatar Halloumi & Roasted Vegetables

This Sheet Pan Zaatar Halloumi & Roasted Vegetables is the ultimate answer to a busy weeknight or a lazy lunch when you want something healthy, hearty, and packed with flavor. The magic of this dish lies in the roasting process, which caramelizes the edges of the cauliflower and sweetens the bell peppers, creating a depth of flavor that boiling or steaming simply can't match. The star of the show, however, is the halloumi cheese. Known for its high melting point, halloumi doesn't dissolve in the oven; instead, it turns golden, crisp, and irresistibly squeaky. We elevate the entire tray with a generous dusting of zaatar, a Middle Eastern spice blend that adds an earthy, herbal punch, and a final squeeze of fresh lemon to cut through the richness of the cheese. This recipe is a fantastic way to clear out the vegetable drawer, utilizing everything from zucchini to onions in one go. It is naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and absolutely bursting with Mediterranean flair.
