Air fryer halloumi bites (breaded) recipe
You can bake a whole block of halloumi in the air fryer and it will actually taste pretty great but if you would like little pieces of salty, crunchy, breaded heaven, then you have to make these air fryer halloumi bites.
Servings: 16 bites
Equipment
Ingredients
- 250 g halloumi
- 50 g plain white flour (all purpose flour) all purpose flour
- 1 medium free-range egg beaten
- 50 g panko breadcrumbs
- pinch salt and black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic granules
- 2 tbsp oil to brush or spray
Instructions
- Drain your halloumi and pat it dry, then cut into cubes to give 16 bitesize pieces.
- Put the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Add the cumin powder, paprika, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper and mix together.
- Set up two further bowls, one containing your flour seasoned with salt and pepper and one containing your beaten egg.
- Dip a piece of halloumi into the flour, turning to lightly cover on all sides. Shake off the excess.
- Now dip the piece of halloumi into the beaten egg, coating on all sides. Allow any excess to drip away.
- Finally, turn your piece of halloumi over in the breadcrumbs to cover all over.
- Repeat with every cube of halloumi.
- Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturer instructions. Mine defaults to 4 minutes at 205C.

- Set the air fryer to 180C and bake for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp.
