Method
Cut the halloumi1 into slices about 1 cm thick.
Cut the zucchini2 into half-moons, the pepper into strips, the red4 onion into wedges, and the cherry5 tomatoes in half.
Toss the vegetables with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the vegetables and halloumi1 in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 200 °C for 10–12 minutes, gently shaking the basket after 6 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the vegetables are tender around the edges.
Serve right away while the halloumi1 is warm and springy.
Tips
- Why it works
- Lay everything in one layer. At 200 °C the hot air quickly dries the surface of the halloumi, so it browns instead of releasing water into a pile of vegetables.
- Substitutions
- Replace the 80 g of cherry tomatoes with a regular tomato that isn't too juicy. Instead of red onion, use 40 g of regular onion, the taste will be sharper.
- Common mistakes
- Most often people oversalt. Halloumi is already salty, and after baking you notice it right away by the sharp salty smell and taste.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat for 3–4 minutes in the air fryer at 180 °C, but the halloumi will be less springy.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with warm pita or a simple green salad.
