Squeaky, salty halloumi with a golden crunch. No oil bath, no fuss.
Your silicone liner stops the coating catching on the tray, so every bite comes out crisp, not stuck.
Ingredients
- 225g block halloumi, cut into cubes
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 60g panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chilli or honey, to serve (optional)
Steps
-
Prep the halloumi: Cut the block into bite-sized cubes and pat dry.
-
Set up your coating station: Flour in one bowl, beaten egg in the second, panko mixed with paprika and pepper in the third.
-
Coat: Dip each cube in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so it sticks.
-
Arrange: Place coated cubes in a single layer on your air fryer liner, don't overlap.
-
Air fry: Cook at 200°C for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
-
Serve: Serve hot with a drizzle of honey or a scatter of fresh chilli.
