Crispy Oven-Baked Halloumi Fries
No air fryer? The oven turns EcoBites halloumi sticks into properly crunchy fries with a light semolina crust. Bake them hot and eat them fast — they're the vegetarian answer to loaded fries, ready for any dip you like.
Method
- 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment.
- 2
Pat the halloumi sticks dry, then toss in the semolina, paprika and oregano until coated.
- 3
Arrange in a single layer on the tray and drizzle with the olive oil.
- 4
Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp at the edges.
- 5
Serve hot with a lemony Greek-yogurt dip.
Tip · A hot tray is key — slide it into the oven for 2 minutes before adding the halloumi so the crust sets on contact.
Keep the grill going.
