Air Fryer Halloumi Fries

Ingredients

• 250 g halloumi, cut into thick fingers
• 2 tbsp flour or cornflour (optional)
• 1 tsp za’atar or paprika (optional)
• Honey, to drizzle (optional)
• Oil spray

Steps

1. Cut the halloumi into thick fingers if not already done, and pat each piece dry with a paper towel to remove surface moisture.
2. Dust the halloumi fingers with the flour or cornflour and the za'atar or paprika, turning to coat all sides.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C.
4. Arrange the halloumi in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between pieces.
5. Spray lightly with oil.
6. Air fry for 4 minutes, until the coating starts to turn golden on the underside.
7. Turn each piece over and air fry for the remaining 4 minutes (8 minutes total), until the crust is golden all over and the cheese feels soft and slightly springy when pressed.
8. Transfer to a plate while still hot.
9. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately, since halloumi turns rubbery as it cools.

Tip: Halloumi turns rubbery as it cools, so eat it hot.
