Print Recipe

These Halloumi Fries are crispy on the outside, soft and salty inside, and perfect for snacking, dipping, or as a unique appetizer. With a chewy, rich texture, they’re quick to make and totally irresistible!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Halloumi Fries:

  • 1 block halloumi cheese (about 225g), cut into fries

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for extra crispiness)

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ tsp salt (optional, halloumi is naturally salty!)

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)

  • 1 tbsp milk or beaten egg (optional, helps coating stick)

  • ¼ cup olive oil (for shallow frying) or cooking spray (for air frying)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Halloumi & Coating

  1. Cut halloumi into thick fry-shaped pieces (about ½-inch wide).
  2. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  4. (Optional) In another bowl, beat an egg or mix milk for extra binding.
  5. Coat each halloumi fry in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra crunch, dip in egg/milk and roll in panko before frying!

2️⃣ Fry for Crispy Perfection

  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C).
  2. Fry halloumi fries in batches, flipping until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side).
  3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

🔥 Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in small batches for even crispiness!

3️⃣ Air Fryer or Baked Version (Healthier Option)

  1. For air frying: Spray halloumi fries with oil and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway.
  2. For baking: Place on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until crispy.

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, broil the fries for the last 2 minutes!

4️⃣ Serve with Dips & Garnishes

  1. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, chili flakes, or sesame seeds.
  2. Serve hot with dips like tzatziki, sweet chili sauce, or harissa mayo.

🔥 Pro Tip: A squeeze of lemon juice enhances the flavors perfectly!

Notes

These golden, crispy halloumi fries are quick, easy, and packed with rich, cheesy goodness! Whether you dip them in yogurt sauce, drizzle with honey, or spice them up, they’re a must-try snack or appetizer.
