Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz halloumi cheese block
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil spray
- For Dipping Sauce: 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- Cut the halloumi block lengthwise into sticks about 1/2 inch thick. Pat the sticks dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, black pepper, and paprika.
- Lightly dredge each halloumi stick in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Arrange the halloumi sticks in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Lightly spray the tops of the halloumi sticks with the oil spray.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the sticks halfway through the cooking time, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with the sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Drying the cheese well before coating helps achieve maximum crispiness.
- For extra crunch, you can substitute the flour coating with panko breadcrumbs.
- If you prefer a different dip, try mixing plain Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
