Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 oz halloumi cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Slice Halloumi: Slice the halloumi cheese into thick pieces, approximately half an inch thick, to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
- Season Cheese: Drizzle olive oil over both sides of each halloumi slice. Then, sprinkle freshly ground black pepper evenly on both sides for a subtle kick.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned halloumi slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they have space for the air to circulate and crisp up properly.
- Air Fry: Cook the halloumi for 8-10 minutes at 375°F, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden brown and crispy texture on both sides.
- Add Honey Drizzle: Once cooked, remove the halloumi from the air fryer and immediately drizzle warm honey over each slice to add a delightful sweetness that balances the salty cheese.
Notes
- Use thick slices to ensure the halloumi stays firm and achieves a crispy crust.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Warm the honey slightly to help it drizzle evenly over the hot cheese.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
- For a spicy twist, add a pinch of chili flakes along with the black pepper.
