Halloumi Burger Bowls
Fried or grilled halloumi cheese "burgers" are the perfect centerpiece for a vegetarian burger bowl! Packed with salad, fries and your favorite burger toppings, these halloumi bowls make a flexible, quick and easy dinner - perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) block of halloumi cheese, cut once lengthways and once widthways to make four "burgers"
- 1 head romaine or iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 7 oz (200 g) frozen fries or waffle fries
- 2-3 vine tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 rings red onion , thinly sliced
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 6 slices pickles (aka gherkin), or more, to taste
- ¼ cup burger sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- First, get your fries cooking in the oven or air fryer according to package instructions. Everything else can be pulled together while they cook (unless you are using skinny fries with a very short cook time!)
- Chop the lettuce, onion, tomato and avocado and arrange it in the bowl, leaving space for the fries on one side.
- When the fries are 5 minutes away from being done, fry the halloumi. Heat up a small layer of oil in a frying pan or grill pan, at a medium-high heat. Cook the halloumi for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden.
- Add the fries to the bowls, then place the halloumi on top of the lettuce. Scatter the pickle slices over the top, drizzle with burger sauce, and serve!
