Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 block Halloumi cheese 8 oz (225g), patted dry and cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks
- 1 tbsp Olive oil Extra virgin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano Or Italian seasoning blend
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika For color and mild smokiness
- 1 tsp Garlic powder Optional, for savory depth
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch Helps create an extra crispy exterior
- 1 pinch Black pepper Freshly ground, to taste
Notes
Storage: Best served immediately while hot and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but will lose their crispiness. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore crunch. Substitutions: You can use a low-moisture mozzarella stick or paneer, though the flavor profile will differ. Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of marinara sauce, honey mustard, or a drizzle of chili honey for a sweet and spicy kick.
