What You Need To Make Halloumi Fries

- 60 g Flour – I used cornflour, but any kind will do – preferably white flour.

- Salt and Pepper (to season)
- Vegetable Oil (to brush on the halloumi)
The Benefits of Making Your Own Air Fryer Halloumi Fries
Making your own halloumi fries in an air fryer offers numerous benefits, both in terms of taste and health. The air fryer’s high heat and rapid air circulation ensure that your halloumi fries will be perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and melty on the inside.
Plus, by using an air fryer instead of deep-frying, you’ll significantly reduce the amount of oil needed, making your homemade halloumi fries a healthier and guilt-free alternative to traditional fried snacks.
Step-by-Step Guide for Making Perfectly Crispy Halloumi Fries
- First, cut the halloumi into 1cm slices, then cut into sticks. Pat dry with a kitchen towel and brush lightly with some vegetable oil.
- In a bowl, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper. Mix together.
- Dip the halloumi sticks into the flour until fully covered. Give it a shake and dip again to make sure it’s covered, then shake again. Repeat with the rest of the sticks.
- Set the air fryer to 200℃. Place the halloumi fries in the air fryer, being careful not to overlap and cook for 8 minutes, turning halfway.
