Fried Halloumi & Sweet Potatoes
Fried Halloumi & Sweet Potatoes
A bright bite of melted bliss
Say goodbye to standard mozzarella sticks, there’s a new melted cheese appetizer in town. Turn bright, lemony Halloumi into a perfectly seared snack in just minutes with this deliciously simple recipe and bright salad. Halloumi, a Greek cheese that’s known for being “squeaky” and elastic, is ideal for grilling--we’ve seared it until the outside is crispy and the insides are gooey and soft, and served it up with a helping of roasted sweet potatoes and arugula. This Mediterranean meal is one for all seasons, just top it off with a glass of Assyrtiko.
