- 8 ounces halloumi cheese, patted dry
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon olive oil spray
- For the Dip:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cut the halloumi block lengthwise into thick sticks, about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Lightly dredge each halloumi stick in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the coated halloumi sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.
- Spray the tops of the halloumi sticks lightly with the olive oil spray.
- Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the halloumi cooks, prepare the dip: Mix the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Serve the hot halloumi fries immediately with the lemon-herb yogurt dip.
Notes
- Patting the halloumi very dry before coating helps achieve maximum crispiness.
- For best results and to prevent sticking, spray the basket and the cheese itself with oil.
- If your air fryer tends to run hot, check the fries at the 7-minute mark.
