Notes
Always preheat your air fryer for a better crust on your halloumi.
Do not overcrowd the basket; air needs to circulate for even cooking and crispiness.
Flipping the halloumi in the air fryer halfway through ensures both sides get beautifully golden.
For the best texture, serve this air fried halloumi immediately. Resist the urge to overcook the Air Fryer Halloumi Cheese; it can become tough if cooked too long.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheat your air fried halloumi in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through and re-crisped. Avoid the microwave, as it makes the halloumi rubbery.
