The Ultimate Salty-Sweet Snack Perfection

If you have never tried halloumi fries, you are in for a treat. This ‘squeaky cheese’ transforms into something magical when air-fried—it becomes incredibly crispy on the outside while remaining warm and tender on the inside. It is the perfect balance of salty, savory, and with our special dip, a little bit spicy.

Ingredients You Will Need

• 250g Halloumi cheese, cut into thick batons
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

The Spicy Honey Dip

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce
• A squeeze of fresh lime juice
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Cheese: Pat the halloumi dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving maximum crunch.
2. Coat: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the halloumi batons in the mixture until evenly coated.
3. Air Fry: Lightly brush or spray the fries with olive oil. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.
4. Cook: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Glaze and Serve: Whisk the dip ingredients together. Drizzle the glaze over the hot fries or serve it on the side. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy immediately!
