Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz Halloumi cheese Cut into thick slices
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For coating the cheese
  • 1 tsp Paprika For flavor and color
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder For additional flavor
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper To taste
  • 1/2 tsp Salt To enhance flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the halloumi into thick slices about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the halloumi slices with enough olive oil to coat them lightly.
  4. Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt on the slices. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
Cooking
  1. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, or until golden-brown edges form.
  2. Serve hot, enjoy the crispy exterior and springy interior.

Notes

For best results, do not crowd the air fryer basket and use a light coating of oil. Optionally, finish with a squeeze of lemon or serve with yogurt dip.
