**Ingredients:**

– 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
– 1 red onion, sliced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 8 oz halloumi cheese, sliced
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions:**

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.

3. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with olive oil and the dried oregano. Brush this mixture over the pizza crust.

4. Place the seasoned pizza crust on the grill for a couple of minutes to warm it up and get a light char on the underside. Remove from the grill and set aside.

5. Arrange the grilled vegetables and halloumi cheese slices on top of the pizza crust.

6. Return the pizza to the grill and close the lid. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is crispy.
