# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a shallow bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and black pepper. Place the beaten egg in a separate shallow bowl.
02 -
Individually dip each halloumi stick into the beaten egg, then roll to coat thoroughly in the pistachio mixture, gently pressing so the coating adheres evenly.
03 -
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C. Arrange the coated halloumi sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with oil. Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
04 -
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Warm gently until the mixture just begins to bubble, stirring continuously. Remove from heat.
05 -
Arrange the hot halloumi on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the honey-lime glaze. Garnish with extra crushed pistachios, lime wedges, and fresh chopped herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Ensure the halloumi sticks are spaced apart in the air fryer to achieve maximum crispness.
02 -
For an extra vibrant finish, prepare the glaze just before serving so it remains warm and glossy.
