Peel and cube the sweet potato into 1-inch pieces. Cut the halloumi cheese into similar-sized cubes.
~10 min - 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined to create the glaze.
~5 min - 3
Thread the sweet potato and halloumi cubes alternately onto skewers.
~5 min - 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
~5 min - 5
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly charred, and the halloumi is golden brown and softened.
~12 min - 6
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers generously with the miso glaze. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds just before serving.

Tips
- Soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use will prevent them from burning on the grill.
- These skewers are also delicious served over a bed of mixed greens or quinoa for a more substantial meal.
