Notes
- If you want the halloumi to be softer and a little more moist, then cook it for just 20 minutes. We cooked it for 25 minutes to get it a little more crispy, but that's a preference thing.
- If you want the halloumi to be really crispy, then sear it in a skillet first and then add with the rest of the ingredients and bake.
- Check these every 10 minutes with cooking, as depending on your oven they may cook a little quicker and you don't want dry halloumi.
- If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven. Put them in a baking dish and cover with foil - they will take about 10 minutes to reheat.
- If you are going to reheat these, then cook them for a shorter time, as crispy halloumi doesn't reheat very well.
- Feel free to change the vegetables you use. Mushrooms and courgette also work well.
- You can save some calories with this recipe by using reduced fat halloumi.
- Cook the halloumi on a griddle pan if you want to get the nice lines across it.
- Add some black beans for even more of a protein boost.
