Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch-thick batons (like thick fries), then pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. Step 2

    Toss halloumi batons in a shallow bowl with flour, salt, and pepper until lightly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Working in batches, pan-fry halloumi 90 seconds per side without moving until golden brown.

  5. Step 5

    Heat honey and red pepper flakes in a small bowl for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  6. Step 6

    Plate fries hot, drizzle with chili honey, squeeze lemon over the top, and serve immediately.
