Start by slicing your halloumi cheese into even-sized fries, aiming for pieces about 1.5cm (½ inch) thick. You should have approximately 10 fries.

On a large plate, combine the plain flour, paprika, and cumin, mixing them well. Roll each halloumi fry in the flour mixture to coat.

In a frying pan, pour enough olive oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium heat until shimmering. Fry half of the coated halloumi fries for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Transfer the first batch to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining fries, adding more oil if necessary.

Serve the halloumi fries hot, enjoying with your choice of dips like sweet chili sauce or spicy aioli.
