This dish delivers a satisfying texture and a well-balanced medley of flavors that’s perfect for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
135g Halloumi Cheese
100g Red Bell Pepper
100g Zucchini
30g Chickpeas
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) for the vegetables.
Slice the halloumi into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into bite-size strips or rounds for even roasting.
Place the vegetables on a baking sheet, toss with 1/2 tsp olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring midway through.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the halloumi slices to the dry skillet (or very lightly sprayed with oil if needed) and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
For added protein and texture, gently warm the chickpeas (previously rinsed and drained) in the skillet for 1-2 minutes just before serving.
Plate the crispy halloumi alongside the roasted vegetables and scatter the chickpeas on top.
Finish with a light seasoning of freshly ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
