Cut the dairy-free halloumi-style cheese into thick, even-sized fries, about 1 cm wide.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently toss the halloumi fries in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Test the heat by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle and become golden within seconds.
Carefully lower the coated halloumi fries into the hot oil in batches, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining halloumi fries.
Transfer the crispy fries to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fries.
