Notes
- Pat halloumi dry. Crisps better, less sticking.
- Single layer on tray. Crowding steams, not roasts.
- Variation: Add cherry tomatoes last 10 mins. Burst juice.
- Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes. Sweeter twist.
- Spice boost: Chili flakes for heat lovers.
- Make vegan: Tofu instead of halloumi. Marinade first.
- Add olives or feta crumble. Med flavor pop.
- Use air fryer: 400°F, 20 mins total.
