Halloumi is a delicious, salty cheese that’s perfect for frying, and when cooked in an air fryer, it becomes even more irresistible. In this article, I’ll show you how to make your very own halloumi fries in just a few simple steps. So, grab your air fryer and let’s get cooking!

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients you’ll need. For this recipe, you’ll need:

– 1 block of halloumi cheese
– ½ cup of all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
– 1 egg
– 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
– Cooking spray

Step 2: Prepare Your Halloumi

Start by cutting the halloumi into fry-like strips. You can make them as thick or thin as you like, but aim for a size that’s easy to pick up and dip. Once you’ve cut the halloumi, pat the strips dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3: Set Up Your Breading Station

In three separate bowls, set up a breading station. In the first bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano. In the second bowl, beat the egg. In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4: Bread Your Halloumi

Working one strip at a time, coat each halloumi strip in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally, coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure each strip is evenly coated for maximum crispiness.

Step 5: Air Fry Your Halloumi Fries

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Once it’s preheated, arrange the halloumi strips in a single layer in the basket. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket, as this can prevent the fries from crisping up evenly. Cook the fries for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until they are golden and crispy.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Once your halloumi fries are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. Then, serve them alongside your favorite dipping sauces. Whether it’s a classic marinara, a zesty tzatziki, or a tangy barbecue sauce, the choice is yours! Get creative and have fun with your dipping options.

And there you have it! In just a few simple steps, you’ve created a batch of delicious and crispy halloumi fries that are sure to impress. Whether you’re serving them as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, these halloumi fries are a crowd-pleaser that will have everyone coming back for seconds. So, fire up that air fryer and get ready to enjoy a new twist on a classic favorite. Happy cooking!
