You’ll Need
250g halloumi, cut into 12 cubes
6 rashers streaky bacon, cut in half
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp olive oil
Optional But Dangerous
Chilli flakes
Hot honey drizzle
Cranberry dip
Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Wrap each halloumi cube with half a rasher of bacon.
Secure with cocktail sticks if required.
Place the honey, black pepper, smoked paprika, and olive oil into a small bowl.
Mix thoroughly.
Brush the bacon-wrapped halloumi generously with the glaze.
Arrange the bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and beautifully caramelised.
For extra festive colour, brush with a little more honey during the final 2 minutes of cooking.
Remove carefully and allow to cool for 1 minute.
Serve immediately while the halloumi is still soft and the bacon is crispy.
