Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Halloumi Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Za'atar
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 8 ounces of Halloumi Cheese into fry-shaped pieces, each approximately 1/2-inch thick.
  2. 2In a shallow dish, combine the 1/4 cup of Almond Flour and the 2 tablespoons of Za'atar. Stir them together with a spoon until they are evenly mixed.
  3. 3Take each halloumi fry and press it into the almond flour and za'atar mixture, ensuring all sides are coated evenly. Gently shake off any excess coating from each fry.
  4. 4Place a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil to the skillet and heat it for 1-2 minutes, until it shimmers and reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
  5. 5Carefully place the coated halloumi fries into the hot olive oil in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the fries for 2-3 minutes on one side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Then, flip each fry and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
  6. 6Using a spatula, carefully remove the cooked halloumi fries from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will drain any excess oil and help the fries remain crispy.
  7. 7Serve the Keto Halloumi Fries with Za'atar immediately while they are warm and crispy.
