Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 250 g Halloumi cheese, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil (or cooking spray)
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika (optional) For a slight kick
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder Add more if you love garlic!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing your halloumi cheese into bite-sized pieces—about 1-inch cubes work great!
  2. In a bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the halloumi pieces. Sprinkle black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder over them. Toss gently to coat each piece evenly with the seasonings.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for about 3-5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the halloumi pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them for the best results.
  2. Air fry for about 8-10 minutes until they are golden and crispy on the outside. Shake the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  3. Carefully remove the crispy cheese bites from the air fryer. They're best served hot.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dips like tzatziki sauce or marinara for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
