Ingredients
 
 

  • 225g halloumi
  • 2 tbsp plain flour or gf flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by patting your block of halloumi dry with a paper towel to remove any excess brine. Slice the block into uniform sticks, roughly 1cm thick; keeping them consistent ensures they all cook at the same rate.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, chilli powder, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Toss the halloumi sticks into the seasoned flour. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated, then gently shake off any excess flour.
  • Arrange the halloumi fries in a single layer in the basket, making sure they aren't touching to allow the air to circulate freely.
  • Lightly spray with some olive oil for an extra-deep golden colour, then air fry for 10-15 minutes at 180C. Halfway through the cooking time, use tongs to flip the fries so they crisp up evenly on all sides.
