🌶️🧀 Crispy Chili Honey Halloumi Bites
Sweet, spicy, and irresistibly crunchy—these crispy chili honey halloumi bites are the ultimate snack or appetizer for sharing (or not 👀). With their golden crust, gooey cheese center, and sticky chili honey glaze, they’re a flavor explosion you’ll want on repeat.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
250g halloumi cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes
3 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp olive oil (or use avocado oil for a lighter option)
2 tbsp runny honey 🍯
1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to heat preference)
1 tsp soy sauce (optional, for depth)
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Halloumi
Pat the halloumi dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Toss the cubes in plain flour until evenly coated. This helps them crisp up beautifully.
2. Pan-Fry to Perfection
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the halloumi cubes for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
3. Make the Chili Honey Glaze
In a small pan, gently warm honey with chili flakes (and soy sauce if using) for 1–2 minutes.
Be careful not to overheat—just let it loosen up and get glossy.
4. Coat & Serve
Drizzle the warm chili honey over the crispy halloumi bites.
Toss lightly to coat, then garnish with fresh herbs.
