Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Halloumi Fries

  • 2 (8 oz) blocks halloumi cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Dill Yogurt Dip

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    For the Halloumi Fries: Pat the halloumi cheese dry with paper towels. Slice each block into 1/2-inch thick pieces, then cut into fry-like sticks.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, toss the halloumi sticks with olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi fries in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to blot any excess oil.

  5. Step 5

    For the Dill Yogurt Dip: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic (if using). Stir until well combined.

  6. Step 6

    Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the crispy halloumi fries immediately with the dill yogurt dip on the side.

Tips

  • Ensure halloumi is patted dry for maximum crispiness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches if needed.
  • Leftover dip is great on sandwiches or grilled chicken.
