Notes

- For extra crispness, ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Overlapping fries can steam instead of crisp.
- If your air fryer doesn't have a specific 'preheat' function, simply run it for 3-5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) before adding the halloumi.
- The first time I made these, I forgot to flip them and one side was undercooked. Always flip them midway for even browning and crispness.
