Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) of halloumi cheese, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh herbs like parsley or oregano (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the halloumi cheese into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss the halloumi pieces with olive oil or cooking spray, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over them.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned halloumi pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Remove the halloumi bites and sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs. Serve immediately with dipping sauces or alongside a fresh salad.
Notes
- Patting the halloumi dry helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Adjust seasoning to your preferences, adding more spice or herbs as desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
