Ingredients

Gather everything before you start so the cooking flow stays quick and clean.

  • 200 g halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 0.25 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 0.5 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley, optional

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Pat the halloumi cubes dry with paper towels. This helps them brown instead of steam.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, and black pepper. Toss the halloumi cubes in the mixture until lightly coated.
  3. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the halloumi cubes for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  4. Remove the halloumi from the pan. Lower the heat and add butter, honey, sriracha, and lemon juice.
  5. Stir for 30–45 seconds until the sauce is warm and glossy.
  6. Return the halloumi to the pan and toss quickly until coated. Serve immediately with parsley if using.
