Golden, crispy halloumi fries with a chewy center, seasoned to perfection and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce—your next favorite snack or party appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 grams halloumi cheese, sliced into thick fries
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Sweet chili sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Set your oil to medium-high heat in a deep frying pan or pot. You’re aiming for around 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Pour oil into your pan, about 2 inches deep, and let it heat while you coat the fries.
- Dredge the halloumi fries in the flour mixture, pressing gently to make sure it sticks well.
- Fry the halloumi in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer to a wire rack.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if using. Get your dip of choice ready.
- Serve immediately while they’re hot and crunchy with your favorite sauce on the side.
Notes
- Dry the halloumi well before coating to avoid splattering and help the coating stick.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Use a wire rack instead of paper towels for cooling to keep the fries crisp.
