Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 1 8oz package halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2" slices
Vegetables
- 1 large bell pepper, chopped into 1" pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for roasting both your vegetables and halloumi.
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two separate baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Vegetables and Cheese: Place the chopped bell peppers and broccoli florets on one baking sheet, and arrange the sliced halloumi cheese along with the chopped red onion on the second baking sheet.
- Initial Bake: Bake both sheets in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. This helps start the roasting process.
- Flip and Continue Baking: After 12 minutes, flip the vegetables and cheese to ensure even cooking, then bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Broil Halloumi: Switch the oven to broil and cook the halloumi and vegetables for 2-3 minutes until the halloumi turns golden brown and crispy on top. Keep a close watch to avoid burning.
- Prepare Sauce: While the food is baking, blend together olive oil, cilantro leaves, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt until smooth to create a bright, flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over the crispy halloumi and roasted vegetables, and serve warm.
