The tasty trio: roasted asparagus and tomatoes with halloumi!
Halloumi is such a great food to use in vegetarian cooking (some of our best vegetarian meals include halloumi!). It has a much higher melting point than most cheeses so it can be grilled, fried, or roasted and will remain solid. You can use it as a protein source in a main meal. Halloumi contains 10.5g protein per 1.5 oz serving, which is the serving size for this recipe, with the rest coming from the quinoa. Roasted halloumi and vegetables is a super easy way to serve halloumi. You can pop everything in the same tray and just bake! Make sure you keep an eye on your halloumi though – if it is overcooked and it can get very crunchy, and loses its awesome texture. If you want to fry up your halloumi, try our fried halloumi with crushed nuts recipe. One good thing about halloumi is that, if you have a good non-stick frying pan, you don’t have to use oil to fry it as the cheese crisps up nicely on its own!
