Air fryer halloumi fries are so simple to make and perfect for a quick snack. The taco flavor is mild, allowing the cheese to star, but is brought to life when dipped into the sauces. I typically also serve them with salsa–both are good partners for the halloumi fries.

Ingredients
Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
Halloumi Fries:
olive oil cooking spray
8 ounces halloumi cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Directions
Combine sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and Sriracha in a small bowl; mix well, and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line with a disposable parchment liner.
Cut halloumi into fry-shaped sticks about 1/2-inch thick (about the size of steak fries). Try to keep them uniform in size, so they will cook evenly. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Mix flour, taco seasoning, and chili powder together in a bowl, add halloumi, and toss until well coated.
Place fries in the prepared air fryer basket, being sure not to overcrowd or overlap. Spray lightly with cooking spray, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and brand of your air fryer. You may have to fry in batches.
Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Cook's Note:
As an optional way to coat, put the flour seasoning into a small bag, add the halloumi sticks and shake.
