These ultra-crispy halloumi fries are oven-baked, not fried, and coated in seasoned breadcrumbs. Served with a zingy harissa yogurt sauce, they are the perfect appetizer or snack.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Slice the halloumi into 18-20 ½ inch sticks.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and za’atar.
In an other shallow bowl, whisk the egg.
In a third bowl, add the flour.
Dredge each halloumi stick in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in egg, making sure it’s thoroughly coated. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, at least an inch apart. Spray the fries liberally with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
To make the harissa yogurt dip, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and serve with the hot fries.
