Make halloumi cheese crispy and golden brown in stick form using your air fryer. This recipe includes a simple lemon-dill yogurt dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil spray
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Dip: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cut the block of halloumi cheese into thick sticks, about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Pat the sticks very dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
  3. Lightly spray the halloumi sticks with olive oil spray. Toss them gently in the cornstarch mixture until lightly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Place the coated halloumi sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the sticks are golden brown and crispy.
  7. While the halloumi cooks, prepare the dip: Mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill in a small bowl.
  8. Serve the hot, crispy halloumi fries immediately with the yogurt dip.

Notes

  • Drying the halloumi thoroughly before coating helps achieve maximum crispiness.
  • For extra crunch, you can lightly dust the sticks with panko breadcrumbs after the cornstarch coating.
  • Adjust the air fryer temperature slightly higher, to 400°F (200°C), for the last 2 minutes if you desire deeper browning.
