Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup almond flour or panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 18 oz halloumi cheese
- ⅓ cup coconut flour or all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Avocado Mayo Dipping Sauce
- 1 ripe avocado
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare a baking tray with a piece of parchment paper or sprayed with olive oil.
- Slice halloumi into 30 sticks.
- Place coconut flour in a small bowl, and mix in the smoked paprika.
- Beat one of the eggs and add ½ tsp of salt. You may or may not need the second egg; that’s why it is best to just start with one.
- Place the almond flour in another small bowl.
- Coat the halloumi sticks first in the coconut flour mixture, then shake them to remove any excess.
- Then dip cheese sticks in the beaten egg. Finally, roll them in almond flour until they are well coated.
- Place the halloumi sticks onto the baking sheet and drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil over the top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
- To make the avocado mayonnaise, just mix the ingredients together and enjoy!

Notes
- You could make these fries in an Air Fryer; just make sure not to overlap them on the trays. Cook halloumi sticks at 400°F for 8–10 minutes.
