Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°F/Gas 4.
Coat strips of 225 g Halloumi in 4 tablespoon Plain flour. Shake off the excess and then dip into 1 Egg (whisked). Put into 60 g panko breadcrumbs and coat completely.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the coated halloumi onto it.
Cook for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
The nutritional information listed here will be slightly inflated as not all of the flour, breadcrumbs or egg is used.
We haven't added any flavours to these halloumi fries, but you could season the flour with some chilli powder and paprika if you wanted some extra flavour.
If you didn't have any egg, then you could use mayonnaise instead. This also means that you aren't wasting any egg, but we usually just cook up the leftover egg as a snack. Using a vegan mayo would make this egg free too.
Breading these can get a little messy. My tip would be to use one hand to roll in flour and egg and then drop it in the breadcrumbs and use the other hand to coat. Keeping one wet hand and one dry hand stops you getting in to a sticky mess.
Cooking times may vary, as every brand of halloumi is different. Some is a lot softer than others, so you will need to be careful when you turn them over.
Ensure that there is enough room on the baking try so they don't touch. This will help them to get crispy.
Be careful when they come out of the oven as they will still be quite soft, however they will harden as the cool.
Ideally all the fries will be cut the same shape to unsure they cook evenly, however because of the way that halloumi is formed it is hard to cut them all the same so don't worry about it too much.
