Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Slice the halloumi lengthwise into 6 even slices. Gently pat each slice dry with a paper towel to ensure optimal browning. Place the halloumi slices in a shallow dish.

02

Step

5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sesame oil, lime juice, minced garlic, sesame seeds, and chili flakes until well combined. This is your flavorful glaze.

03

Step

1 hrs

Spoon the honey-sesame glaze generously over the halloumi slices, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

04

Step

2 mins

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the marinated halloumi slices in the hot skillet, leaving some space between each slice to avoid overcrowding.

05

Step

4 mins

Cook the halloumi slices for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown color. Keep a close watch as they will brown quickly.

06

Step

2 mins

Reduce the heat to low. Add any remaining glaze from the marinade to the skillet to warm it through. Gently spoon the warmed glaze over the halloumi slices, coating them evenly.

07

Step

2 mins

Arrange the honey-glazed halloumi slices on a serving plate. Garnish with fresh lime wedges. Drizzle any leftover glaze from the skillet over the halloumi. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, try using a smoked paprika instead of regular chili flakes.
Halloumi is best served immediately, as it tends to lose its texture as it cools.
Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your liking, depending on your spice preference.
If you don't have fresh limes, bottled lime juice can be substituted, although fresh is preferred for optimal flavor.
