Q&A
Q: Can I prepare this wrap ahead of time?
Yes, you can grill the zucchini and halloumi in advance, but assemble the wraps just before eating to keep them fresh.
Q: What’s the best way to reheat halloumi?
Halloumi is best eaten right after grilling, but you can reheat slices in a hot pan for 1–2 minutes until warm and slightly crisp again.
Q: Can I use another cheese instead of halloumi?
Yes. Feta works well (though it’s crumbly) or you can try paneer, which grills similarly.
Q: Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Definitely. Just slice the zucchini and halloumi into smaller pieces for easier eating, and adjust garlic or herbs in the sauce if your kids prefer milder flavors.
