03of 20Spicy Chili Oil Noodles with Zucchini & CarrotsPhotographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Lauren McAnelly, Prop stylist: Gabriel GrecoMaking your own chili oil is more time-intensive than using store-bought, but it’s worth it for the fresh flavors in this dish. The goal here is to infuse the oil with tons of aromatics like bay leaves, star anise, peppercorns and chili flakes to create a spicy base for the sauce.

Grilled Zucchini & Halloumi Pitas

a recipe photo of the Grilled Zucchini & Halloumi Stuffed Pitas

This grilled halloumi pita is stuffed with tender-crisp zucchini, fresh tomatoes and smoky halloumi cheese. You can prepare this sandwich inside using a grill pan, or outside using a gas grill. You can grill halloumi cheese just like you would any other protein (it doesn’t melt); letting it cook undisturbed makes it release from the grill pan easily.
