Contrary to the name, it is not a fried dish. It is 100% oven-baked. I also call them “fancy fries” because halloumi fries are, at its core, cheese sticks coated with bread crumbs. These delicious and gooey appetizers add a cheesy goodness to your dinner, instantly making it more fancy than it actually is. Full Recipe: Halloumi Fries
