Air Fryer Halloumi Fries

Air Fryer Halloumi Fries

This air fryer halloumi fries recipe takes the Mediterranean’s favourite "squeaky cheese" and transforms it into a high-protein, spice-infused snack that's as versatile as it is addictive. Whether you’re looking for a gourmet side dish or a satisfying mid-day bite, these halloumi fries deliver a perfect balance of salty, savoury, and heat in every single mouthful. Why I love making these air fryer halloumi fries: The beauty of halloumi lies in its physical properties. Unlike cheddar or mozzarella, which succumb to the heat and turn into a puddle, halloumi holds its shape. When seasoned and air-fried, the exterior undergoes the Maillard reaction - that chemical magic where proteins and sugars transform into a golden-brown crust of pure flavour. By using [...]
