Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Halloumi cheese
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 25 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Cut the Halloumi cheese into fries, approximately 1 cm thick and 8-9 cm long.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
Lightly coat each piece of Halloumi in the flour mixture, ensuring all sides are covered. Shake off any excess flour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the dredged Halloumi fries on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with olive oil spray from a distance to ensure a fine mist covers the fries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the Halloumi fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the Halloumi fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer with a squeeze of lemon juice or your favorite dipping sauce.
