Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Red bell peppers
- 250 grams Halloumi cheese
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and membranes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet with the cut side facing down.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the peppers and roast them in the oven for 20 minutes or until the skins are charred and blistered.
While the peppers are roasting, slice the halloumi into 1-centimeter-thick pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the halloumi for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly, then carefully peel off the skins and arrange them on a serving platter.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and mix them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the roasted peppers, and drizzle the garlic olive oil mixture evenly over the peppers and halloumi.
Top with the golden-brown halloumi slices and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread or a simple salad on the side.
