💡 Tips
Here are my top tips for making delicious Halloumi with an air fryer:
Make An Amazing Salad
The air fryed halloumi makes a great addition to any salad. It adds delicious texture and flavor to the dish. For a delicious salad, start with some fresh greens such as spinach or romaine lettuce.
Add some tomatoes, cucumbers, and other fresh veggies for a colorful meal. Then top it off with the air fryed halloumi for a tasty crunch. The combination of flavors will be irresistible!
Sauce
You can top the halloumi with bravas sauce which is a classic Spanish sauce made with tomatoes, chili peppers, and garlic.
This adds an extra layer of flavor to the halloumi giving it a unique taste that will have your guests asking for more!
Air Frying Time
If you slice the halloumi cheese into smaller pieces, less air frying time is needed. If you want the cheese to be crunchier on the outside, you can increase air frying time.
Be careful not to overcook the cheese, as it will become dry and hard.
Pan Frying Vs. Air Fryer
Most people pan fry halloumi, but did you know that air frying is a healthier alternative? Air Fryers use rapid hot air circulation to cook food with little or no oil.
This means that you can enjoy the same crispy texture and flavor of fried halloumi without all the extra fat and calories!
