Serves 1 (apparently lol)
120g Halloumi
2 Tbsp Ground Almonds
1 Tsp Chilli Powder
1/2 Tsp Paprika
1 Tbsp Oil
Method
Cut halloumi into 'chips' around 8 and pat dry with kitchen towel
In a bowl combine almonds and spices
Press each 'chip' into the dry mix until completely coated
Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot and carefully place the halloumi in, fry until golden brown on all 4 sides (around 3-4 minutes)
 
Know what I’m having this weekend now yum 🙂🙂

Remember to post a review! I haven't actually tried them, only came across the recipe the other day, also not sure if I like halloumi! haha 🙂 x
 
It’s really nice on a BBQ but can be like eating rubber when cold. I’ll put a review up as soon as I’ve had them no problem
 
Halloumi is also known as 'squeaky cheese'. Wouldn't eat it raw, but cooked it is delicious. Quite a meaty texture.

Baby Bel won't do Kaylz...it's likely to melt...the halloumi won't
 
LOL at the Baby Bel - it's literally miles apart from halloumi, which is Greek and brined. Not a cheese you'd eat between crackers, it's usually served cooked as a topping on something.
 
Got all my ingredients having them for dinner this evening with a nice steak and mushrooms.

OMG they are so nice I never want chips again
See told you so...and you can use whatever seasoning in the coating that you want to...yep I'll be getting some more Halloumi tomorrow.
