This Air Fryer Mediterranean Vegetables with Halloumi recipe is as delicious as it is easy. There is no need to preheat the air fryer so it's fairly quick.
I love my Air Fryer. I thought about buying one for ages and then finally in July 2017, I took the plunge when I saw it on offer on Amazon Prime Day. It was a Philips 9220/20 air fryer.
I now have tons of air fryers, air fryer lids, air fryer ovens by many brands (from Instant to Ninja to Russell Hobbs and Tefal).

Notes
Tips to prepare this recipe
This Air Fryer Mediterranean Vegetables with Halloumi recipe is perfect for spoonies like me. It's the perfect dish for pacing.
I tend to slice the vegetables ahead of time and store them in the fridge so that they're ready when I am ready to cook them.
You don't have to slice all the vegetables at the same time either, pace that too.
Obviously, if you have a food processor, it'll be even easier.
Thinking of buying an Air Fryer?
Read my guide on how to use them, it includes a handy video.

How to serve
Really nice sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Or you can coat the halloumi sliced with sesame seeds before adding to the air fryer.
Or add the sesame seeds when tossing with the silicone tongs before adding the halloumi.
Other seeds will be lovely too.
Delicious served with lemon wedges to drizzle over before eating.
Great in wraps.

Did you press the air fry button for this or the roast?

This was done in my Philips air fryer which only has one setting. If you air fryer has more settings, either Air Fry or Roast will work well. Hope that helps, Maria
