Easy Crispy Halloumi Fries
These Halloumi Fries are golden and crispy on the outside + warm and squeaky on the inside. They're dredged in a zaatar spiced flour and fried until perfectly golden brown. Served with a garlic yogurt dip, these are THE appetizer that disappears fastest at the party.
Servings: 12 fries
Ingredients
- 8.8 oz block of Halloumi 8.8oz / 250g, do NOT pat dry
- 3 tablespoons zaatar
- ½ cup all purpose flour
Garlic yogurt sauce
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- 1 large clove glove grated
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix up your sauce in a small bowl; leave in the fridge.
- Cut Halloumi into fries. I did 4 rectangular slabs from the block then cut each slab into 3 “fingers” for 12 fries.
- Prep your dredging station by mixing flour and zaatar in a wide shallow bowl. Dredge the halloumi pieces in the flour mixture and set aside.
- Heat about 1-1.5” of oil in a deep enough heavy-bottomed skillet/pan (you want 2-3x pan height over your oil so you don’t spill/foam over when frying). We’re looking to hit and keep our temp about 350F.
- Using metal utensils safe for frying, place your fries gently into the oil and fry for 2 minutes moving around and flipping over to get equal browning all over. Remove fries to a wire rack or paper towels for about 1 minute.
- Plate with your desired dip, can serve with torn mint, lemon wedges and a spritz of lemon juice.

Notes
Best served immediately while hot + crispy. Pairs well with cucumber and tomatoes, or torn mint and lemon wedges for garnish.
