Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Pat the halloumi dry with kitchen paper.
Brush lightly with olive oil.
Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Place the halloumi slices into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp around the edges.
While the halloumi cooks, mix together the BBQ sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
During the final 2 minutes, brush the halloumi generously with the glaze.
Place a cheese slice on top of each piece and return to the fryer for 1 minute until melted.
Warm the burger buns during the final minute.
Build the burgers with lettuce, glazed halloumi, red onion, crispy onions, and your chosen sauces.
Serve immediately while the halloumi is still hot and slightly squeaky.
