Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz block halloumi cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the halloumi block into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to help them crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, and black pepper.
- Toss the halloumi slices in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the seasoned halloumi slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time, until the cheese is golden brown and slightly softened inside.
- Remove immediately from the air fryer and serve hot.
Notes
- For best results and to prevent sticking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray before adding the cheese.
- If your halloumi is not browning evenly, slightly increase the temperature to 390°F (200°C) for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Serve this halloumi with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or alongside a simple yogurt-dill dip.
