Ingredients

8 oz. (225g) Halloumi Cheese cut into ½-inch slices
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ tsp Dried Oregano
½ tsp Smoked Paprika
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
Zest of ½ a lemon
Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish
Lemon Wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) if needed.
Pat the slices dry with a paper towel (this helps them get extra crispy).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Brush or toss the halloumi slices in this mixture.
Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd!).
Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for that perfect tangy bite!

Notes

Serve with a side of tzatziki, lemon dill sauce, or a drizzle of hot honey for a fun twist.

Eat it as is or add it to a Mediterranean salad, grain bowl, or wrap.
