Halloumi Fries
These Halloumi fries are SO DELICIOUS! Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, paired with a zesty yogurt dip.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb Halloumi cheese cut into fries/strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons za'atar spice blend
- 1 cup Mina Moroccan olive oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon garlic sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (minced parsley, oregano, and mint)
- 1 tablespoon harissa sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the Halloumi cheese into fry-shaped strips, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and za'atar spice blend. Stir well.
- In your frying pan, pour in the Mina Moroccan olive oil. Heat it over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Take each Halloumi strip and coat it thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
- Fry the Halloumi strips in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the Halloumi fries to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic sauce, salt, fresh herbs, harissa sauce, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
- Serve the Halloumi fries warm with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
