Cut the feta cheese into 1-inch cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried chili flakes, dried oregano, and half of the chopped parsley to the feta. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat the feta cubes.
~2 min - 3
Thread the marinated feta cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each cube.
~5 min - 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
~5 min - 5
Grill the feta skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden and softened.
~7 min - 6
While the skewers are grilling, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and the rest of the chopped parsley in a small bowl to make the glaze.
~1 min - 7
Drizzle the lemon-herb glaze over the grilled feta skewers immediately before serving.
Tips
- Ensure your feta is firm and not too crumbly for best results on skewers. If it's very soft, you can wrap it in parchment paper for a few minutes in the freezer to firm it up before cutting.
- Serve these skewers warm, or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or as part of a larger mezze platter.
