Notes

Make sure to coat the halloumi well for a good crunch. Adjust the amount of honey and chili flakes according to your taste. Consider adding herbs like parsley or cilantro for freshness. Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 1-2 days. Reheat in the air fryer to restore crunch.
