Air Fryer Halloumi Fries

Air fryer halloumi fries are so simple to make and perfect for a quick snack. The taco flavor is mild, allowing the cheese to star, but is brought to life when dipped into the sauces. I typically also serve them with salsa–both are good partners for the halloumi fries.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)

Halloumi Fries:

  • olive oil cooking spray

  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

  1. Combine sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and Sriracha in a small bowl; mix well, and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line with a disposable parchment liner.

  3. Cut halloumi into fry-shaped sticks about 1/2-inch thick (about the size of steak fries). Try to keep them uniform in size, so they will cook evenly. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  4. Mix flour, taco seasoning, and chili powder together in a bowl, add halloumi, and toss until well coated.

  5. Place fries in the prepared air fryer basket, being sure not to overcrowd or overlap. Spray lightly with cooking spray, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and brand of your air fryer. You may have to fry in batches.

  6. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

Cook's Note:

As an optional way to coat, put the flour seasoning into a small bag, add the halloumi sticks and shake.
