Ingredients
  

Cheese Base
  • 8 oz Halloumi cheese 1 block
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp red chili flakes optional
  • 1 pinch black pepper
Topping
  • 2 tbsp honey or hot honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint chopped

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
  2. Remove Halloumi from packaging and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Cut the cheese block into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  4. In a bowl, toss cheese cubes with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes, and pepper.
  5. Place cheese in air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
  6. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
  7. Remove when golden brown and crispy on edges.
  8. Transfer to serving plate and immediately drizzle with honey and garnish with mint.

Notes

Serve immediately as Halloumi becomes rubbery when cold. If sensitive to salt, soak cheese in water for 20 minutes before cooking.
